V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms

2.6 Acronyms pointing to versions

When there is a series of related acronyms differing by a number at the end, V.E.R.A. usually has just one entry, which omits the number. For example, there are many versions of MNP (Microcom Networking Protocol), distinguished by numbers; but we do not list MNP4, MNP5 or MNP10, only MNP.

So if you look for an acronym that ends in a number, and you don't find it, try leaving out the number(s).
