+## TODO
+
+- Tools bbsim and voltctl are versioned for release.
+- Track down which test scripts contain hardcoded versions for checkout.
+
+  - Command use is all over the place and not all are being frozen.
+  - Abstract this into makefile targets (~voltctl) or a central script
+    that simply returns version string for a package.  A standalone entity
+    will simplify maintenance and can be generated/autoamtically frozen
+    on a branch at release time.
+
+- Consider tool versioning in general.  Planning for tool upgrades helps
+  minimize unplanned breakage.
