Those within same branch/slot will be updated to latest in the

That's roughly what I was talking about two mails earlier, except that I called it "API identifier", and AFAICS there is no reasonable way to assign an API identifier that would make sense (roughly because whether an API identifier makes sense depends on packages that _require_ the identifier, not on the package that _provides_ it, so it is not a local property).
