If we go with Derek's proposal, a contrib module would probably have a 
version of 4.8.x-1.0 or maybe even just '1.0' since 'required Drupal 
version' is a separate field and in the modules page, you know. But for 
core modules, I threw in the core version number because it's the only 
number that really makes a lot of sense. I suppose we can give core 
modules their own version numbers but that would likely be a major 
hassle and not worth it.
