    i think we agree at the two enpoints -- from user side, they are *not* required to supply a version; and in back-end everything *does* have a version wherever possible.  so if user specifies "MySoftware" brooklyn internally srtores that it is MySoftware_1.0.1 or whatever.
    
    it is the mapping in between that we are unsure of.  i don't like the 999.0.0 idea -- it is nice in some ways but feels an ugly "magic numbers" hack in others.  i also don't think that the intermediate/alias needs to be versioned -- as that is *not* what is stored (ie the alias is resolved at deploy time and not used anymore thereafter).  that should simplify things a big?
