What if there is a feature I want to use on Development Version A and one I want to use on Development Version B, within the same score? I also foresee a multiplication of the issues regarding who is using what version on this list, as in: Today: A: "I have this problem. I am using version 2.17.3" B: "We fixed this problem in 2.17.23" With multiple versions: A: "I have this problem. I am using version 2.19.A.3" B: "This was fixed on version 2.19.B" A: "Okay, that fixed that, now I have this problem." C: "This was fixed on version 2.19.C" A: "I'm confused. How do I fix both of these problems?"
