In the end... the most important thing I was trying to say is that you need to think hard when you version things... it's not as simple as just revving versions each release. The version of a component is tied to the functionality it provides for people :) @Darin, true, that’s the bad thing about tooling… you get used to trusting it…

Designate a Version Master...make someone directly responsible :-) In Ant land we slipped up and incorrectly rev'd the minor version, other components have automatic tooling to bump their baseline requirement for the Ant plug-ins (??), and we caused all kinds of problems with builds in the endgame of 3.4 :-) Another warning: do not just blindly accept whatever the tooling tells you ;-)

That 'gotcha' has snagged Platform UI for the last month or so without our realization. You should probably mention that the API tools don’t help with the service segment.

I'm happy to hear that you had a successful intervention where someone wanted to increment all their bundles to match a release number :-) Great post!
