Oh, of course.
I should read everything more thoroughly before I make assumptions.
I think it's good how it is.

Why would anyone need to know how many times an add-on has been updated? If someone really cares, Ephi could make a update count. With the current system, if you want to make a minor update, you can edit the file, but people don't get an auto-update. If you looked at ZAPT v1 there were 4 notes telling you to re-download the file if it had been downloaded before a certain date. Some(most) people download an add-on and never look at the topic again. Some bugs might cause a huge problem. Why use a broken add-on?

Who cares if it is "only a small update", it's still the next version. I don't think that we need to change something that works fine.

Mmk... So RTB is around v15 according to this update system. So what if v3.5 was some bug fixes? Let's call it V4!

That's what Blockland does and it works fine.
