It's really crazy. Removing version numbers mean that the dependency graph must be synchronized globally which is impossible AFAIK. In addition to this, it renders the package pools idea essentially useless, which is the sane thing that is needed. :) A better idea would be to perhaps indicate symbolically the usability level of the package in the binary format. That might give users some convenience, I dunno. I have a lot of crazier ideas about distribution, release management and package classification so keep these mental inventions coming. :) This is exactly the place to discuss these.
