Anyone interested in "package versioning"?

[Jean-Claude Beaudoin]

Hi CL Pros,

I just came across a post on Quora
<https://www.quora.com/Where-did-we-go-wrong-Why-didnt-Common-Lisp-fix-the-world/answer/Robert-Smith-9?srid=dnzK>
by
Robert Smith where he mentions the idea of assigning some sort of "version"
to Common Lisp packages in order to improve code configuration control.

This seems to me to be a pretty neat and interesting idea!

Has anyone of you explored such a concept, or know of anyone that did?
Or, is anyone of you curious about it?

I think pretty seriously that I will implement something like this as a CL
extension in my upcoming MKCL 2.0.

Cheers,

Jean-Claude Beaudoin
