Neither have you.
As per policy, that number should reflect the interface the package
implements. The fact that "3" was picked up by Branden is just an
historical accident. My guess is Branden just followed what was back
then current practice, i.e., the Mesa packges (which I now maintain).
Why the Mesa packages carry a 3 is also historical baggage and most
people seem to be unaware why that 3 is there in the first place.
Hint, James *did* follow the policy when he first created the Mesa
packages.
