I mean for software we talk about reproducability and versions down to the bit. But if a consumer products replaces one piece of metal with plastic it's apparently the same product?
Products should have versions that look like this.
2.1
* Replaces piece X with plastic.
* Reduced frame width to save material costs.
This could also be positive and make it more transparent.
2.2
* Strength part X that breaks very often.
* Change edges to reduce chance of injury.
I mean this opens a huge box of problems, I know apple didn't want to admit their keyboard was problematic in fear of lawsuits.
This is how it should be.
