Lock protocol version numbers



Summary:

In this context, the speaker is proposing a solution to avoid version bumping insanity. They suggest locking the version numbers to be the protocol version, which changes rarely, and using the sub_version_num field + revision number for individual builds. They provide examples of Satoshi 0.4, BitcoinJava 120311, and bitcoin-js 6 as models to follow. By doing so, they hope to avoid the chaos that can result from frequent version changes.
