Probably some people release changed versions in smaller steps than
others.

I don't have a program on the server yet, alas. But tentatively my
lesson learned from this conversation is that when and if (1) I do
have a program on the served and (2) I have reason to believe that the
program has gotten a few stones stronger than the old version, then it
is time to start over on the server with a new name. (Perhaps change
name from myprog-1.2 to myprog-1.3, perhaps from
myprog-takes-n-komi-vs-gnugo to myprog-takes-nprime-komi-vs-gnugo.)
