As many or more are not.

It sounds like we're in violent agreement that something better is
needed.  The disagreement seems to be that you feel that %I% is
sufficient in some cases, particularly ones that are interesting to
you (;-}), while others of us feel that it never was a good answer.

Rather than repeating past blunders, I'd like to see us do better.  In
any event, you can always replicate these past mistakes on your own by
typing "v1.1" explicitly in your code, and bumping the number on each
push.  I don't think that's the right strategy at all, and I'd
strongly argue against it being applied as any sort of guideline or
standard for others to follow, but if it floats your boat, and you
can't wait for a better answer, go for it.
