Yeah, though that comes with it's own set of pains. But, let me ask you this. Which is better? 1) Ask an unknown number of people to change their code to keep up with your changes and/or distribute the old module or 2) Ask just one person - who is making changes anyway - to make one more small change and distribute the old and new modules. One counterpoint to this would be "why make people download old modules they don't need in the zip?" There's two answers to that too: a) That's a trivial cost. The average Phobos module is about 3 or 4 kilobytes once zipped up. When you're grabbing a > 10 MB zip, three kilobytes is nothing to worry about. b) If it is a big deal, changing to a download on demand system (like the DIP) can avoid this... especially if the old version is still around and easily accessible by name.
