I think we have, they just aren't explicitly stated b/c most users don't necessarily grasp the subtleties of tokens at this level. We have long talked and had questions about how to handle bug fixes in Analyzers. > while we're hurting the programming experience of others ... almost > recklessly. Wearing my trainer hat as someone who has to explain this stuff to newbies on a regular basis, I agree, I think VERSION does hurt the programming experience (although, I don't agree it is even close to reckless) at least initially and the issue was more easily dealt with through CHANGES.txt and letting people know there is a bug fix that will require re-indexing. That being said, I'm not sure I like the static proposal. Separating out the analyzers more seems good on paper and versioning individual ones somehow. -Grant
