It would be nice if there was a consistent way of referring to a
version regardless of how old it was.
There would be nothing stopping us from going back and adding tags for
existing versions. We could add REL_09_5 back to REL_06_5 if we wanted
to. Then we could easily refer to any version without special cases or
rules about pre-10 vs post-10. It would also give a convenient chance
to fix the inconsistencies in how some of the older branches were
tagged.
