can we have less version numbers?
say synchronize the ones of gnustep-make, base, gui, back?

i know it doesn't really fit here, but i will keep suggesting this until
it happens (eventually, some day)

Currently there is the Startup package which has its own single version number and bundles make,base, gui,back. Is there something preventing one from basing distributions on this? Underneath of course apps are linking to Base and GUI libraries separately with their own version numbers, but if all app packages are depending on the appropriate Startup version this shouldn't really matter.

The separate versioning of base,gui, etc. is needed for development and probably won't go away, but I don't see a reason to expose this outside the developer environment unless users want to upgrade their base and gui separately for some reason. But in that case they are stepping outside the distribution-provided environment, which should provide only the Startup package, not separate GUI and Base, so they are on their own.
