I think alan's suggestion makes sense. The package has a beta state anyway. General question though, following what justin said, nothing prevents you from releasing a Package 2.0.0, if you keep BC but heavily modify internals you may want to do that and this does not require Package2 to exist, right ?
I believe that every major number revision is supposed to be a new package. If it doesn't break BC then, logically, it *should* be ok to have it as the same package, but this could (would) cause a lot of confusion as you wouldn't nevessarily know where to go for V2 of a package. I would suggest (if it's not in the RFC already) that all major revisions must be a new package.
I don't really see the value of doing that. I mean Foo 2.0.0 Foo2 1.0.0 is not confusing imho since they are different packages. My point is that we should avoid having rules when they don't bring much. Arnaud.
