> Monticello only requires monotonicity and uniqueness for its version numbers, not consecutiveness.  When saving a new package, generate a unique, 6-digit versionNumber.  Beginning approximately  2020-11-25T10:40:00+00:00, a 7th digit will appear -- no more than a local phone number -- which will be good until year 2038.
