That is why 3.7.0 got the bump from 3.6.x. The bump to 3.7 would be due to a feature change. A backward-incompatible change would require a bump to 4. > If you can't afford (yet) to evolve the data, then don't upgrade the > package until you can.

No. The declarations you give in 3.6.3 cause the new names to be mapped back to the old. > Or are you saying that the way 3.6.3 uses meta:redefinePermission won't > work for persisted permissions? It will. The redefinePermission change you propose for 3.7 won't, which makes it backward incompatible, which means it should be a 4.0 release.
