So we will have "tcl90-thread30" and "tcl90-tk91"? That would suggest that
thread30 and tk91 only work with Tcl 9.0, not with Tcl 9.1. That's not true:
Tcl 9.1 will be binary compatible with Tcl 9.0. No packages need to be
recompiled when switching from 9.0 to 9.1.

That's why I prefer the version at the end of the package name: it's the
version of the package, not the version of Tcl.

For Tcl and Tk, the versions will always be in sync, but that doesn't
need to be for other packages.

But .... it's your call!!!

Thanks!
