Topic: Should this be version 4.0.0, not 3.5.0?

The OGSI-package-name-changes have broken many schemas because the test
rigs used Daffodil internals, and some deprecated things were finally
removed in the current 3.5.0 snapshot.

But as a result, these schemas, many of which are non-public, but
nevertheless can be counted, a long list, which used to work, don't work
any more.
It's possible there are false-negatives here. Nevertheless it is a long
list.

This suggests to me that user-created schemas have some fairly high
likelihood of being clobbered.

We changed the packages of many things. We can claim these were internal
things, but there are many schemas that depend on Daffodil internal things
now. This needs to get fixed so we can torque the internals more without
breaking things, but right now... things are broken.

Every schema using layers, for example as we never hardened the API for
layers, so as it has evolved, schemas have broken.
