I would have to look for it, so better stat afresh :)
From this thread I cannot tell (I know, I guess I am
just dense:) what the problem is nor what the proposed solution would be, so I cannot
comment without some more context...
It's quite possible that I missed the point the last time around, so you'll have
to start at the beginning of this conversation to bring me into the loop:)
The whole current discussion started from the realization that:
ConfigurationOfRPackage project load: #'1.0' --> looks for a symbolic version
ConfigurationOfRPackage project load: '1.0' --> looks for a regular version
I said that this is confusing, and I believe it does not have to be like that if symbolic
versions are treated the same as regular versions.
Cheers,

I still do not understand why symbolic versions
cannot be treated
like normal versions (I argued for this before :)). Their name should
be unique within the overall versions anyway, so I do not see where
the compatibility would break.

months ago. The reason
is primarily for making legacy configuration work.

I did not know about this convention. I find this
design to be
unnecessarily confusing.
Why is this needed? Why not use strings / symbols
interchangeable?
