I wouldn't do it automatically. What I could be doing is add a reminder
to do it. But then, I'd have to test the change, as you never know
what I might be doing with those fat fingers of mine (and my evil
twin standing behind me begging to play with my keyboard and mouse).
I'm thinking instead we should change the test to be immune from
those version bumps.
Could we make that test verify that the minor number is zero, and
that the major number looks like a number, maybe?
Otherwise, how about extracting the version number from the output
of "show version" and then use that to validate the test(s)?
