 ## Decide on the next version numbers
 According [versioning-and-release-strategy.md](versioning-and-release-strategy.md) patch version bumps (the last of 3 numbers) should only be used for fixes and updates of references to platform versions. For any change in functionality, the second (minor) part of the version should be bumped and new branch created. Instructions for creating a new release branch are further down on this page.

+### cordova-create principle
+
+The most important principle is that packages such as `cordova-lib` and `cordova-cli` should not use multiple versions of `cordova-common` through the chain of dependencies. This means that if `cordova-common` is updated it should be released before other packages such as `cordova-fetch`, `cordova-create`, `cordova-lib`, `cordova-cli`, etc.

   I recall from recent discussions that `cordova-common` is used as a singleton since it has a singleton somewhere (I forget where). It would take me some time to dig this information up. If @raphinesse or anyone else can recall this information more easily it would be really appreciated.
