Indeed. Which is why I don't want to do this.

Usually they stop when, or soon after, they are made part of an official 
kde.org package. I can't recall any app that does this right now. Anyway, for 
the very few that do, we can include extra releases with made-up version 
numbers (or dates) that sort of make sense. These cases are so rare that this 
doesn't fall into the 'confusing users' category IMHO.
