Re: [development] Choosing the N number for .install's hook_update_N

Because the version of the module is solely independent of the version of Drupal. The version of the module indicates API and/or UI differences. If you have version 2.x of your module in version 5.x of Drupal and then change it to version 1.x for version 6.x of Drupal; one tends to view the 6.x-1.x as the same interface as 5.x-1.x.

But I'm wrong and will shut the hell up.

I tend to agree that this is what users -- or at least, I, as a user -- would think. Which is why Views 2 is 6.x-2.0 when there was never a 6.x-1.0.
