I think it's really bad idea to have different versions pointing to the same commit: * it's extra headache for testing - we either have to figure out "duplicate" versions to avoid useless work or do meaningless testing * if while making point fix we forget about this duplicity we might end-up with 17.04.1 and 17.06.1 diverged while 17.04 and 17.06 were the same thing for particular component * it makes it impossible to mark any component-specific changes between global releases

It seems to me we could completely replace individual project versions with the overall release ("17.6.0"), *if* we accept that non-changing projects would have several versions tagging exactly the same code state.
So far I really don't like that idea. It just feels wrong, somehow. I cannot really explain it.
I have to say I'm not particularly against this idea from Neels. It would simplify a lot naming of the versions of all projects.
