Multiple versions of Project

So I was browsing through the list of projects and it came to my attention that there are no fewer than 4 projects on ohloh for the mac vienna rss reader. It appears that one of them is supposed to be the whole project and the others have been created with a title suggesting a single version.

I assume the proper form is the version that encompasses all versions. If for no other reason that it being easier to maintain.

As best I can tell it is because of the structure of the SVN repository that the multiple versions came into existence... so as to avoid inflating the line counts. The problem is that at least one of the older versions no longer had a valid URL attached and I can't say if other problems have evolved. Not to mention that it has a tendency to segment the stack count and it took me starting to write this post to even recognize the reason for the multiple versions.

I realize that this probably isn't a problem that can be fixed over night... but are there any plans for changes to the enlistment system that would allow for better handling of these situations?
