Most participants agreed to use a new version number for each upload. I like this approach, as m.d.n. is public, thus somehow the upload to m.d.n already is a form of distribution. And it gets quite confusing if there exist different distributions with the same version number. Leo, thanks for your upload as well as for your feedback.
