Ok, now I think I got what you meant with your question. This question is
difficult to answer as it doesn't depends on Metacello. If you want to know
which version exactly to load of a particular project, then you need to know
about that project or ask the developers/maintainers. It is not a Metacello
responsibility. If the person who writes the Configuration is cool, it will
put the whole changes/changelog in the #description:  of the version method.
So that you can at least read it.

On the other hand, there are also the blessings. For example, if you are
just a user, I would download the last stable release. You can choose also
the last beta, or whatever. If you are a developer, you may want to download
the latest, even if it is in development. For all these cases, Metacello
helps you with methods like lastVersion, etc.

Finally, as I said, it doesn't depends too much in the tool. The same
question you ask, apply to Universes, SqueakMap or whatever. In all of them
you have different versions. And which version to load depends on the
project and on the user (what do you want to do with it).
