I was a bit short: The problem is especially with release products. Your release today -9 and in a month -20 - with just one change. This confused a lot of customers and partners, they asked for the other 10 changes...
You must have really stupid customers and partners. Accept my deep sympathy for this.
Huh? What is the real _problem_ with just telling the truth that the package number increased due to a dependency rebuild?
People just not getting it. :-(. Trust me, this is a real problem.
So development decission are typically driven by people that have no clue? Interesting... Honestly, if I have to decide in a project I tend to run away from vendors that do the wrong thing just because some stupid people ask them to do so. But I agree with you that if you have more stupid customers than intelligent ones it might be smarter to serve the stupid ones. I still wonder where all these stupid people come from. If I explain dependency resolution algorithms to our freshman students most of them get it.
