Liz,
You might want to extend your recommendations to allow dropping
irrelevant version numbers when desired. This is already done with
Ultrix 3.0/3.1 and we don't use any version numbers for any of our Mach
platforms here and aren't likely to until/unless this becomes
absolutely necessary. Also, if the version number is supposed to refer
to the operating system indepedent of the hardware platform Mach 3.0 is
the upper bound at the moment as far as I know.

P.S. Gee, I sort of like sun3_sos35. It has a certain poetic justice
to it.
