With that explanation, I really think this should be a devref bug, not a Policy bug. (Don't forget "Policy isn't a stick to beat people with".) While it is nice to have a common ways, (e.g to reduce complexity costs), not having a unique versioning scheme does not break something; it just introduced work on people that have their (equally fine) scheme... And, yeah to defining a best-practice. So let's reassign to devref? -- tobi
