sorry for confusion - we care a lot about consistent version numbering
as we care a lot of trouble free plugin usage.

we would appreciate a lot if the version number increases if the api
changes. just the tag would be enough (i.e. no release), so that all
compatible things also are able to tag. especially if an api is around
for enough time so that things exist which use this api - like it is
with trac-0.11-dev.

and, it would be very nice if always the same position increases if
the api changes in a not backwards compatible way. in case of trac it
is the second (0.10 --> 0.11 --> 0.12), isn't it?

the only thing we do not care is what functionality / api is in a
version called 1.0. the only requirement would be that it runs stable.
