Is V2 when I finally no longer need to keep sorting out my packages that require ElevateDB?

It must be too early for me - could you explain further ?

When I develop a component that relies on ElevateDB I have to change the package (.dpk) where it references ElevateDB eg

requires
 vcl,
 vcldb,
 bdertl,
 VclSmp,
 TMSD2006,
 rtl,
 dbrtl,
 inet,
 designide,
 xmlrtl,
 vclactnband,
 vclx,
 adortl,
 tee,
 vcljpg,
 edb109b2006run; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Roy,

That's one of the only things that I don't like with the naming conventions
of EDB.  I have a lot of 3rd party components and some I've brought in the
DCP requires for EDB.   So when a new minor version is released, I have to
go into all the components that reference them, change the reference, then
rebuild.

Unless financially out of sight, I make every effort to obtain the source
code editions to all components, which then allows me to do this.  But when
you don't have source code, you have to wait and bug the other component
company to get the EDB update, build it, then provide an update.

At least Tim is using Build numbers, so it's less frequent an issue than it
could be. However, if I had my drothers, I would have naming to a major
version number only.

Snap for the external stuff. Internally, and showing in the IDE have a "full" version number
