Every commit?  Or just every release?

That puts a burden on perl maintainers to remember which version scheme to use in each case.  I seem to remember it was Ricardo Signes that ruled that upstream-blead modules should not have underscores in their versions.  That makes things much simpler for me, at least.

Again, we don’t need new versions for every commit, just every release.
