F.e. apache 1.3 can be stable release sometimes and 1.4 will be current release. In this case new port must be intruduced instead of just updating existent one, it involves history copying at least if you care of history. Currently "lots of ports" you mean not copy history from previous ones. It is better to relay on some logic in separation process rather than just version numbers, i.e. for Apache port stable and current variants always exists, so it is good point for splitting regardless of numbers. This thing not so obvious, say, for Netscape port, so nothing better than version numbers can be issued there. > * 2) making just "apache" name without any suffix.
