Damn, I thought I checked that - I must have looked up fuerte's file at the
time.

I wonder. This process could generate alot of pull requests and work on
both ends (developers and the rosdistro maintainers). Most of the time,
simply the highest version number is the valid choice. As an alternative to
specifying the exact version, would specifying the keyword 'latest' and
automating the selection process be useful (assuming people follow the
x.y.z pattern)?

Thats awesome! I didn't know about that feature.
