That would be a breaking change. I suspect you would need to supply stronger motivation. Note that these days you can add arbitrary fields to DESCRIPTION so you already can add a new field that you can the require to be a value from an integer sequence (or a numeric if you prefer). | I suspect a grep of CRAN may highlight others who are erroneously | comparing character objects rather than a comparison between a | `numeric_version` object and a character. Sure but still a user-level bug though. Usually those get fixed them on that side. (And to be clear, I have nothing against your proposal per se and like it in the abstract. I am just trying to help think through what it may entail.)
