Again, I think it would have to be the maintainer's responsibility to make the version numbers meaningful.absolutely; however you're not the maintainer of all of the ones you patched... and I still argue that until the number is meaningful exporting it as meaning something is more harm than good.
As you say, I'm not the maintainer. I just proposed the patches. It seems you are not really talking to me. Instead, you are telling the maintainers that by applying these patches, they should be committing themselves to making/keeping the version numbers meaningful? John -- John W.
