Sequence numbers could also be used for implementing a new release of
vendor software that had been customized by in-house
modifications. By comparing the old/new/in-house code you could
identify which programs needed no conversion effort. which programs
could be automatically adapted to the new release, which needed no
code changes, and those that required manual interpretation of the
releases changes versus in-house modifications.
