comparison module in Distutils)

I suggest, for now, that the version of a package be a string
containing dot-separated list of nonnegative exact integers
(e.g., "1.2.3.4").  These have all the good characteristics:
easy for humans to understand, easy for programs to process,
and above all, extremely boring so that no one would have any
interest in arguing over the merits of one versioning scheme
over the next.

Any serious objections?  (I hope not)
