Because the Monticello version is on a per-package basis? I'm not sure I 
understand what you're trying to say here. Are you proposing that there 
is already a way of having a unique update numbering scheme across 
various Monticello package versions? If so, I don't know it. Or are you 
suggesting you know how to define such a version? If so, I'm all ears.

The reason why there is currently no unique update number associated 
with the trunk is only because nobody thus far has made a proposal as to 
how it should be defined. If anyone has a proposal for what to use, 
please make suggestions.

I'm not trying to argue. I'm trying to understand whether there is 
actual value in providing an update stream parallel to Monticello 
package updates. I just don't see who'd be using these updates if we 
would provide them. If there are people who'd be interested in it, then 
let's figure out a way of providing it. But if there aren't any, then it 
seems like a waste of time to me.
