Nope, no objections.

I don't think that makes too much sense. The plugins fully depend on the
Compiz API, and ccs depends to some extent (read: the plugin) on it too,
so I think it makes sense to use the Compiz versioning scheme as a base.
How do you want to explain to users that version 0.1.1 of Compiz Fusion
needs Compiz 0.5.2, and release 0.3.5 needs Compiz 0.7.4? IMO, that just
will bring along more con-fusion (SCNR) than needed.

Regards,

Danny
