Thus, Beryllium becomes "1.4", and so on.  Then the package manager can figure out stuff like "is there a newer version available in the repository" easily.

The Frama-C release number also contains a number attached to the atomic 
element names and usable for comparing versions. For instance, the exact 
version name of the last stable release is Carbon-20110201 while the 
exact version name of the previous stable release was Boron-20100401.

As 20110201 >= 20100401, you can deduce that Frama-C Carbon is more 
recent than Frama-C Boron even if you don't know the Mendeleiev table.
