Sometimes, modules will be updated, but there is currently no satisfactory way to determine what version of a module you are using. Therefore, modules should have a new hook, node_version(), that would be appended to the module description text on the modules screen. This would allow people to tell of they had the latest version (or the version that they prefer) of the module easily.

Moving to cvs as it's a feature request. However, such a feature would not be a node hook, since a module can host multiple nodes.

Such versioning would also impact dependency issues, so I am marking this as a dupe of the first good dependency thread I found. :-)
