His problem is, that he can't publish an extension to TER without 
changing the version-number.
I would suggest to make the version 0.0.0 (in the em_conf) and upload 
taking the x+1.0.0 option.

I have the sense it has to do with versioned-storage of the extensions 
(you shan't "overwrite" aka. making inconsitancies over the same 
version-number [version-number in this context is quite like an ID or 
unique-state-in-time]), but I don't know how the TER is inside, could be 
wrong. SVN and CVS will also, for the same underlying logistic 
confrontation, always raise the version-number of commited files.
