Yes, I know. Oy vey :-). Everybody agrees on this. Unblessed builds
should have version numbers. I think so, John thinks so too, Greg
Hudson thinks so, Kofi Annan thinks so. And all the proposals offered
meet this criterion, if I recall correctly. Nobody said unblessed
releases shouldn't have versioning; that's not what my response above
is saying either.

Yes. You may stop fighting this battle. You won. In fact, we were
all on the same side, and there was no opposition :-).
