I don't like format either, in principle Christophe could make Tigers 15_a, 15_b
and 15_c (minor updates of some form) and take the first three spots with,
basicly, the same program!

It is pretty rediculous, one author - one entry!

I think they are doing it like that for users with old versions, they would like
to see how much better the new version is, should they go out and buy it or not,
that sort of thing. For that you need the comparison with previous versions.

Personally I am only interested in "how well does the lastest program X compare
to latest program Y". Older versions simply do no longer represent what the
author is capable of and are therefore NOT interesting.
