Can we make the addition be a string not a number, so that we

Just using a string like "EDB v" + something would probably rule out
collisions in practice. To be more formal about it, something like
the tag URI scheme [0] could be recommended.
Hmm. Personally I'm more interested in the string being comprehensible to
end users than in whether there's any formal rule guaranteeing uniqueness.
I really doubt that we will have any practical problem with collisions,
so I'd rather go with something like "EnterpriseDB v1.2.3" than with
something like "tag:enterprisedb.com,2021:1.2.3".
Yeah, just a string should be fine.
