Sticking to actual releases makes sense for packages that follow a
"release-has-a-version" policy, which is common for big & popular
ones.

But there's a number [see below] of smaller, less popular elisp
packages with infrequent contributions where the author doesn't really
bother with a strict "tagged-releases" policy. Sometimes it's
forgotten over the years, so "rolling-releases" become the norm.

IMO that's the case for our
https://github.com/thierryvolpiatto/zop-to-char too. Our 00152aa was
done on May 1, 2018. That's over five years ago. Waiting for 1.2
doesn't make sense. It's probably not happening anytime soon, not even
soon-ish, even though the 00152aa seems to be important.

Cheers
