 Replying to [comment:9 ryandesign]:
 > That's nice. But if a user still had e.g. the old qca @2.2.1_0 from 2019
 installed, MacPorts would not have upgraded them to your new qca @2.2.1_0.
 If we still had the archives from that time on the server, the old
 archives would have been downloaded. There may be other failure modes
 associated with this problem.

 Ah, that was the missing piece for me: We don't want to revert to
 precisely the same version/revision. At least not unless both the build
 archive - and folks' local installations - are guaranteed to represent
 precisely the same results as we'd get today.

 So in such a case, it would be safer to bump the revision to a value one
 greater than anything used previously.

 Rene, does that make sense?
