Re: Exploit the versioning (was Re: Backwards compatibility and release 1.0)

Is this particular change one that could be implemented
algorithmically, or at least partially so?
(E.g. For all modules
     check for the presence of a ":D".
     If it's there, no action.
     If not, insert a line of code. Run a test.
     If successful, post change.
     If not, alert a human)
