Yes, that's probably fine. The stats I sent also included the 
intermediate versions but that was a byproduct of the method of counting 
them (via analyzing the change sets that went into the system).

Also, don't forget that the goal is not to establish "who wrote how much 
of what" but rather to have mapping from initials to individuals. I only 
sent these stats as a starting point and to emphasize that certain 
initials are more important to figure out than others. For example, if 
you don't know who goes by "len" it is important since there is a big 
contribution (900+ methods) in 2.7. Meaning some significant feature was 
added which was written by this person (happens to be the Speech 
synthesis by Luciano Notarfrancesco) and looking at 2.7 we could 
probably figure out what it was and what to do about it even if that 
identity couldn't be established. Being able to draw these conclusion is 
worthwhile because it also allows us to deal more effectively with 
small-scale contributors (there are about 100 people with less than 10 
contributions in my stats). If you can't figure out the identity of 
"m3r" for example (having a single contribution in Squeak 2.3) it's 
probably not quite as important as figuring out who "len" is.
