Here's an idea: When a new version is available, use a new digit in the
last place,
like 1.4.x. Then when a newer version replaces the former because of a bug,
rename the previous version to 1.4.x.bug and call the new one 1.4.(x+1).
So if we had 1.4.3, then that would become 1.4.3.bug and the new one would
be 1.4.4. If new options and drivers are added, then you could increment the
second place digit, i.e. 1.5.0. Just a thought.
