http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision
Why even define a number?
I causes people to argue about it. It is a variable.
I meant a "Reference" Table of equipment/devices.
Most Auto shop have a "Cross-Reference book". Also Johnny Cash built a vehicle from 30 years or so different years parts(or I know people who do/can).
Reference PEP8 standard to: A Technical manual per say.
If not make it simple. A multiple of 10, 80 being the closest int and also errors on 79 devices. Which then said device should be added to the reference manual. Or 70.
Also the pro/cons of this argument should be added to a "Quick-Reference".

Sorry if my opinion was not clear, the first time I posted. As I have been answered before, you CANNOT edit posts here. But you could with python...
