I'm talking about the revisions which are shown by CVS, i.e. by "cvs log
nnmairix.el". The "0.6" is my old versioning before nnmairix was
included into Gnus. I know this is confusing; I should probably remove
that.

I think so. I explicitly disabled the regeneration of the active file in
the latest version.

The 23.0.95 pretest contains the latest version.

Well, those are different repositories, so they have different
versioning.
