Huh.  I thought I responded to this one already but now I can't find it.

Another common scheme is to say that a version is compatible if the
major version number matches and incompatible otherwise.  I'm not
saying we have to try to include every common scheme.  I think just
the basic one you proposed originally is sufficient.  However, I'd
like to come up with a name for it that will distinguish it from
other schemes added in the future.  Any ideas for a name?

Nice.
