For example, I as upstream would be happy to bump a version number for a similar problem in Red Hat, since meh, I don't attach a ton of significance to version numbers anyway as long as they go up and vaguely follow semver. (The only thing that would give me pause is going from a 0.x to a 1.x version number, since that carries some more semantic weight.) But I could see some people being irritated by the request. I think there's no substitute for knowing upstream and having a feel for how they'd react. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
