Agreed. But nevertheless, every simple linear (major/minor/...) versioning 
scheme has some problems, especially when dynamic linking is considered, as 
elaborated in

http://www.linuxshowcase.org/2000/2000papers/papers/browndavid/browndavid_html/

Are our package version numbers as powerful as the symbol sets described 
there? This could be the case, but I am not completely sure.

Cheers,
