I disagree on both counts — these keywords are not needed, and are not harmless — and have demonstrated otherwise, so I am convinced the above conclusion is a mistake.
Sorry I failed to understand your demonstration. I fail to see how the version scheme is useful and can be used by developers without dev and post versions, and how these keywords are not needed. Regards, Tarek
