I have no objection to changing this, except to note that the extra
verbosity comes from a rule that predates modern software distribution
models (where releases are immediate and continuous), and is also not
deemed necessary by many other organizations. I would not voluntarily
go along with this rule, but wouldn't stop others for whom rule
following is next to godliness.
