I would have understood if you say "let us use a magic value like 'in-tree' or 
'linux'" but setting it to an old (existing) version number - I don't want to 
live with the headaches it creates. Because this is what users often don't 
(want) to understand: if it looks like a valid version number, why isn't it 
the valid version number? So I have to do a lot of pushing - without any 
rewards because it is necessary to push every new "user".

Kind regards,
