This is not acceptable. Modules where the "patch" version number indicates a
patch and will be treated as such by the PatchManager.

There really is no good reason to keep our ptolemy module versioned in a manner
that is in sync with Ptolemy, at least absent some sort of agreement to
modularize Ptolemy itself. The module ptolemy is not the same as a release of
Ptolemy. If someone wants a release of Ptolemy, they shouldn't come to the
Kepler project to get it, they should go to the Ptolemy Project at
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ not to the Kepler Project at
http://www.kepler-project.org/.

If we want to rename the ptolemy module in a manner to avoid it being confused
with an actual release of Ptolemy, we should consider renaming that module to
ptolemy-2.2. We could then include a prominent disclosure that the ptolemy
module is NOT a release of Ptolemy itself.

In any case, renaming the ptolemy module (which again, is not the same thing as
Ptolemy) to 8.0.2 or 8.0.1 is not technically feasible.
