First and foremost is confusion. I have had a case where there were multiple versions of the code with the same version number, where I would ask someone to test it, they would ask someone else to test it, and that "version" gets out. And without my knowing it has become public, I release the real version with that particular ID, and now we have two different sources with the same version, and it makes my life miserable trying to debug something that isn't a bug... :) Second is WCCC preparation. There are a few minor changes and I'd like to keep the "mystery" alive until after the WCCC. Version 19.20 will be released as soon as the WCCC ends, and it will be released exactly as the code that played in the WCCC, with no changes...
