I'm not really interested in GLEP 55 or variants of it. I was just saying that if we do go with a GLEP 55 variant, then I'd prefer one that's similar to the "EAPI in the filename with one-time extension change" option [1]. There are plenty of ways to do that without making it difficult to separate the EAPI from the version part.
