Up to 2.8 every version had its own branch. In MC1.5 we took the step of formally defining the naming syntax, with tests. So that it would be able to reliably work out which is which, in order to reduce ambiguities. I.e. in order to settle down.
Anyhow, MC1.5 fully supports the idea that packages may have different versions and that the may be named MyPackage3.0.4 etc As for concrete proposals, it works, and it doesnt break the use of "so called" branching.
