CORBA26 — Versioning needed for CORBA Core

Summary: At present there is no formal mechanism or process for versioning the
CORBA Core. Indeed, it is somewhat hard to figure out what is part of
the CORBA Core. In Rev 2.3 we tried to at least bring all the IDL for
the Core together in pieces at logical places, e.g. ORB interface,
Object interface, IR Interfaces etc. In addition we also have the
PortableServer module and the GIOP and related modules, the versions of
all of which have to match for the resulting system to have any hope of
working as advertized. I guess the basis of the current state of
affairs is that - the vendor delivers the core, and therefore one can
trust the vendor to deliver the right things. This model tends to break
down in situations where people can download bits and pieces of a Java
ORB at different times and then try to make the whole thing work
together.
