Right. But what about previous versions of sourcemage? When we release
Sourcemage 1.1, do we need to keep the 1.0 files?

The numbers are versions of sourcemage. Not sorcery. So when sourcemage 2.0
comes out, we would keep the last of the 1.x series, for archiving, and for
people who dont want to switch yet, etc.
That's all i'm saying from there.
