I'm sorry if you interpreted it that way when I quoted 1.6.1 as being the "latest stable release", but you've already been given an explanation for the naming scheme, so let's just drop that argument. :)

The source for exrReader and exrWriter is available in the NDK, so you can recompile against 1.7 if you need long channel names in Nuke. Whether Nuke should use 1.7 by default or not is debatable, in my opinion. I understand your point, and was just giving a possible reason why they would be reluctant to.
