Nack said... "Stick has not been able to find (at least not yet) those GnuBG rollouts from 2006, but he was able to determine (from a no-longer-functioning link where he had posted the rollouts for Paul) that the version number was 14.3 devel, one that often produced corrupted rollouts (as we discovered only years later -- indeed, some are posted on the navigable early game rollout compendium of this site)."

I am not sure Nack is right about the Snowie rollouts posted on BGO. I've been systematically reviewing them of late, and I must say, there are very few Snowie rollouts remaining...

I was referring to rollouts done on GnuBG, not on Snowie.

As for your request (the primary focus of your post) -- keeping the version number documented with posted rollouts whenever possible -- your point is well taken, as long as there is not a significant inconvenience tradeoff. (It is only when corruption exists for a posted rollout and that corruption is discovered/suspected after the underlying rollout is lost, if ever lost, that regret for not posting the version number occurs.)
