Blessing is an attribute of a particular version ... multiple versions can have the same blessing, so there is limited utility to blessings ... personally I find the distinction between #release and #development useful for blessings with #release declaring that the version will not be changed anymore and #development declaring that the version may change in significant ways in the future ...

deprecate blessings? I don't think so ... yet ...

��deprecate #stable blessing? I guess I never really understood what they were for ...

I would think that #stable symbolic version is preferred mechanism...

Yes, I don't see what value the blessing provides in light of symbolic
versions... I'd like to hear Dale's opinion though...
