Sure, that's exactly what I mean - in Spoon, everything _has_ a
version, but that doth not a version control system make! What was
that thing's parent version? How does it differ from that version?
Naiad does allow you to say "precisely these objects make up this
module", but that's only one teeny part of a version control system.
If you like, think of it as a version control system with zero
history.

I'm certainly not knocking Spoon for not being *ahem* a fork. It's
just that, unless I'm missing something, Spoon's not a version control
system.
