Hello!
I think you misunderstood. It is only discouraged to press hamm cd's with
version numbers - means that infomagic pressed a developer version (somewhat
with 1.x), before it was ready.
So, version numbers vanished and got replaced by code names ('hamm'), so
confusion is prevented in the first place.
This is all of the story.
