If we're looking at forward only changes, is it possible to introduce a
JSONB output to it. Then people can rip out whichever component they want
at will.
For example:
{"full": 10.0,"major": 10,"patchlevel": 0
}
and whatever else may be pertinent. I used numeric types above but they
can be strings if that works better.
We have the capability to provide (semi-)structured data. Might be an idea
to make greater use of it.
