I see three options: 1) just change the version and people will have to deal, once 2) do something like 132.1.7.3 and be kludgy forever 3) Implement some silent metadata in versions just for tools that check versons, so that the human-presented version is right. I dimly recall discussion of this (EPOCH?) but can't find it. Overall I don't see (1) as really problematic.
