Name or versioning rules are things like allowing new suffixes or
altering the restrictions upon formatting.
Currently, package managers assume that they can handle anything named
pkg-$anything.ebuild, and $anything has to be a valid version spec by
the current rules.
Version rules have changed at least twice in the past, and it's been
messy every time. 55 allows version changes to be done safely (although
not carelessly...).
