Right, that would be a good reason! I seem to recall that, when I initially
tested flat-package building and installation, there were problems with pkgs
not getting properly installed when version was set, possibly due to confusion
between installs and upgrades. And that might have been due in part to our
abuse of some of the Info.plist keys, in particular, CFBundleVersion, at least
for pre-releases ('3.5.0b2'). I'd like to move away from installer packages
altogether but that will have to wait until 3.6. We may be able to get a
proper version number through pkgutil for current releases but it will require
a fair amount of time to explore and thoroughly test. (Some automated install
tests would make it a lot easier.)
