It seems to me that major changes happen on release boundaries; in Matt's
example, on the 3.00 boundary. Many compatibility changes happen for
"pre-version X.XX" versus "version X.XX and later."
If that's true, why not use < (less than) and >= (greater than or equal),
since it seems that it would fit the convention that we use when deploying
releases. It also avoids the problem of modifying earlier releases. For
example, we could write a rule that uses " < 2.4.0 " and ">= 2.4.0", so that
after 2.4.0 is released, we could release 2.2.19, 2.2.94733, etc, and we
don't have to change the rule (of course, as long as the functionality of
2.2.X doesn't change). We also avoid the problem of either duplicating or
not considering the "=" case.
A random thought?
