Please make sure when this happens you give upstream a piece of your mind.  
This is unacceptable anywhere. If the end product changes it is wholly  
irresponsible and downright rude for them to not change the version  
number. I've been successful in changing policies of upstream before by  
making sure they know that it is NOT cool.
