Except that the change which is causing Manu problems _isn't_ a new feature. 
It's a bug fix. So, better versioning wouldn't necessarily have helped him any 
at all. At best, if we had a more complex versioning scheme, it could be 
decided that the bug fix was potentially disruptive enough that it should only 
be fixed in a more major release, but _every_ bug fix risks breaking code,
especially when code could be relying on the buggy behavior.
