David, The changes I’m proposing to the v1 archetype are non-breaking, so it will remain a v1 revision and as the changes are not related to content, can be republished.
The changes that are proposed and breaking will be folded into a draft for v2, which will be visible as a potential future version.

I suggest we make this modification to the existing v1 and republish as stable (and technically correct). But that will not be v1 anymore... At this point, anyone who has worked for a time with the archetypes of CKM knows that the readable archetype ID, including the version number, it is not a reliable reference to identify the archetypes (this is said somewhere in the specifications, but should be more clearly stated for newcomers). The only reliable identifier from a technical point of view is the MD5 hash of the definition part of the archetype. Any change to the structure will create a different MD5. Any (correctly implemented) system that uses it will find that it is a new archetype, call it v1, v1+internal revision, v2 or whatever. As Diego said, the less complicated solution is to just follow the versioning rules that already exist.
