Not as icky (IMHO) as having distribution names with embedded
major version numbers. I'm interested in other people's opinions
here.
I'm definitely in agreement here. Everytime I type BTreeFolder2 I
feel like someone's killing a kitten somewhere.
It's a shame setuptools doesn't take care of this properly :-/
(where my definition of properly is that "major releases" like 2.0,
3.0 are assumed to be backwards incompatible such that 3.0 won't
satisfy a >=2.0)
That's not an unreasonable definition of "properly" given a very
specific interpretation of version numbers. Unfortunately, most
people don't seem to follow that interpretation. setuptools
reasonably has to be less restrictive in it's interpretation of
version numbers.
