This is a general problem with the magical RELEASE version that plugins use... IMO this is an anti-feature and should be removed in general and force people to configure the plugin's version to help ensure that future releases of plugins don't break their builds.

The real problem here is that as long as there are tags out there that don't specify plugin versions, we have no mechanism for deprecating or breaking
api compat, regardless of the version (2.0 -> 2.1 -> 2.2 -> 99.0).

Max: I'm tempted to say that we should look for decimal versions of common
octal expressions, then prefix the rest with '0' to ensure they're
interpreted as octal (unless they have 0x in front, that is).

Is that a decent solution?
