Comically, using PHP as an example leads down a fun rabbit hole.
To whit:
* Modules require Drupal.
* Drupal require PHP.
* Modules have their Drupal version in the version string.
* Drupal should have its PHP version in the version string.
Thus, there will be no Drupal 7. Instead, the previously hoped for
drupal-7.0.tar.gz will be named drupal-5.2-1.0.tar.gz, to indicate that
it's the first version that requires PHP 5.2. We'll leave it up to
webchick and the docs team to explain to people that drupal-5.2.0.tar.gz
and drupal-5.2-1.0.tar.gz are miles apart in time and feature-set.
