 - maintainer tricks:

+        make check-inspected-versions

+    usually either because they have been moved to a different module or
+    because they are not built on the maintainer's machine for some reason).
+    Whether it really makes sense to update the version number is debatable

+    changed, in which case it would be bad to change the version number)
