That's why I proposed the following numbering change:
The directory should be called 0.10 for ethereal version 0.10.x
In case of a not backward compatible change to the plugin API, the
Ethereal version should be increased to 0.11.x. It's just that
nobody ever reacted to it.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
