Sorry, but I don't agree. Let's take the TYPO3 core as an example. Whenever we 
start working on the next version, we increase the version number in the CVS 
version to x.0.0dev. So what's wrong with doing the same with our system 
extensions?

The only way I see for doing that is deleting all versions (including all 
previous versions) from the TER. There is no way to hide certain extension 
versions (in TER2) and I don't feel very much like implementing such a 
feature.

So, what's wrong with uploading all system extensions to the TER (with a 
script) when we release a new TYPO3 version and taking care of the sysext's 
version number manually?
