[orbit-dev] Provide a means for Orbit bundles to announce version semantics

Dear Orbit'ers,
 
the recent rev-up from ICU 3.8 to ICU 4.0 in the Platform (without actually breaking API) sparked off a discussion about how to address the case where a Community other than Eclipse follows different version numbering rules than we are accustomed to.
 
I believe that in Orbit, we should have some infrastructure and policy in place that allows bundle maintainers to tell the Community what version numbering semantics may be associated with a bundle (or, that there is none :-)
 
I have opened bug 262015 [1] for discussion. Please join the discussion if you're interested.
