We had some deliberations both before and after getting this message.
We had decided earlier that changes in semantic content would always
generate a new number. Implementing this option would make
it harder to speak about a specific document and also create
unnecessary confusion.
They way we store RIPE documents is now well defined and a history of
all documents is available.

We have implemented fixed aliases. This had been the plan form the beginning
but implementation was lacking. It is done now and I hope it is
acceptable to you and the other local IRs.
