sounds awesome if you guys found a way to deal with having to manually 
keep these
from not overlapping and avoid rerelasing different bits with the same 
version number.

Will this mean that builds and release now only update the actual 
changed plugins ?
and download diff will be smaller too ?

btw. how come stopping to do the 3.3.0, 3.3.100 etc. as is standard in 
p2/eclipse ?
