Thus I think, it is quite too late to change this interface.
No change is needed; currently \pdftexrevision is a char with alphanums, in the future it will be a char with digits. This shouldn't break anything.
Do we really need the information of \pdftexrevision as a number? It would be nice, but is it needed?
I do not mind if this is a character and thought there are some requests to have numbers.
Thus we have already A, B, and C. What we really need is rather a specification: * data type: A, B, C are numbers (/strings), range
A \in [1..\infty] B \in [0..99] C in "0".."9" (currently it's "a".."z"
B is only increased by 10.
* how does the version look like, formatting issues
A.BB.C
There are some contradictions. Here the second B is always zero.
Taco takes the second B as patchlevel, but what is \pdftexrevision
then? Also already the tenth version forces the main version A to
be incremented.
