Pre d7 or so, I dont think people thought much about setting these rules,
some companies/developers did this, as the various versions changed a lot,
however, it wasnt as much of a common practice, I guess in a way as the
internet was still young and there were less discussions about it.


If you think in d5 for example if you wrote a component of your own, you
added it to the default user package within delphi. 2005 stopped this, you
needed to make a package too, and because 2005 and 2006 share the my
documents\borland studio projects\bpl directory, its now more important
than ever - although if you used runtime packages and so forth mutli
versions needed to be able to be run.. or at least you wanted it so you
could use multi versions it had not to clash.
