Hi Fazlan, Thanks for pointing out this usability glitch. We need find a proper solution to this. Srinath and I discussed few days back to organize a usability review around the G-Reg UIs. We can discuss these issues thoroughly and agree on the best way forward during that review.
Also, as discussed on architecture@, with Sanjiva et al, we are renaming the current "version" concept in the registry to "revision", and as a part of that refactoring, these UIs will also have to be revamped.
