If you think pgAdmin's versioning scheme is a problem, you'll love how its gone 
with the official Perl language implementation which has taken this scheme much 
further.

"Perl 5" has had about 25 major production versions so far over 30 years; its 
now on "Perl 5 version 42". (Those versions were 0 thru 6 incrementing by 1, and 
then it went to 8, 10, incrementing by 2 since then to the present.)
