example SRM v1 and v2 are incompatible, but both have a Name of SRM. I think they should only have different names if they're really fundamentally different.
Also, think about future compatibility as well as the past - even if gram 5 is totally different to any previous gram, could there be a gram 6 which is backward-compatible? If so you'd have to keep calling it gram5 which wouldn't be very elegant ...

I think is no point to force compatibility concepts in the schema. This will always be questionable. If we wanted to do that, there should have been dedicated fields representing compatibility. I think we should foster simplicity and intuition. If 5 is software/protocol/package version, it SHOULD NOT be in the InterfaceName, in my opinion.
