Any thoughts? One reason to keep an ERC version is in case anybody wants to do a release of ERC separate from an Emacs release. Having proper version numbers would allow users to install a newer ERC from ELPA and also have the right thing happen if they subsequently install a newer Emacs containing an even newer version of ERC.
