But I don't particularly like the idea of testing each 17.x version separately... for several reasons. 1. Once 17.13 is released, why would you ever want to play more games with (say) 17.7 (or any older version)? This would likely mean that 17.13 would be tested exclusively, until 17.14 comes out. Then you would move on to that version, and ignore the earlier versions. 2. I don't particularly call _any_ version "stable" unless there is a target event like the WMCCC. In this year's case, there is no stable version at all, as we only entered the WMCCC at the last minute with no real planning. 3. I don't particularly like the idea of having each version of Crafty on the SSDF list as a separate entity. In a few years, Crafty will have dozens of entries on the list since I generally have 20+ versions in a single year. :) If you _really_ care about the individual versions, what you are doing is fine. But if you only want to calibrate Crafty with the other programs, then a single V17 entry would do that just fine, also...
