This I disagree with, fundamentally.  People should be able to pull
themselves up by their bootstraps, if they choose to go down that
road.  I speak from personal experience, here.  While I am certainly
one of the core developers and fairly high up on the totem pole, I
still remember my frustrations as a young programmer, and this is
an attempt to take care of one of those frustrations.

Yes, it seems so obvious *now*.  Why can't we dump tradition and try to
build a versioning system that IS more obvious?
