And that also part of the proposal. You will even have a 1.4 in the directory named "1.0" etc. These numbers are just for major version steps. You could also have "1.x" if that's more clear. But I didn't want to propose MDB1/... and MDB2/... since it might at some point be possible (although unlikely) that we might have two MDB-packages :-) So you're right that dirs only exist for major versions!
