Yes and no. I agree this change changes behaviour in a way that people
might not be expecting, which is not desirable in the 3.x series. There
were two good reasons to still make it though: most packages keep the
version numbers in setup.py, version.txt and metadata.xml in sync and
will see no change, and Plone no longer mixes up profile and package
versions which was a bug and was starting to confuse people. The
distinction is important, and I felt that this was warranted to set
things straight.
