I'm confused by the version numnering system used, I've NEVER seen
anything like this before.
This is Version 5 release *p*, a previous release *q* had a bug.
1'st query *q* comes after *p*, in my Earth language anyway.
2'nd query *p* isn't the 5'th letter from the beginning of the alphabet
nor the 5'th from the end, in my Earth language anyway.

What method do you use for assigning version number/letters?? An
alphabet board type thing on a wall and darts?? I assume you remove each
letter when it's been used, I also assume you'll start chucking 2 darts
at the board when all 26 letters have been used.
Am I close?? :)
