Could you point me to the original mail where you argued for this?
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.

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.

I mentioned something similar to this a few 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?

now when I do
ConfigurationOfRPackage project load: #'1.0'
is telling to me that there is no symbolic version and I do not get it.
Instead, you should do: ConfigurationOfRPackage project load: '1.0'
#'1.0' vs '1.0'
