    I am using addressables now a lot and they work great so far. I am also creating my own package right now which acts as an SDK for my players. Using both, addressables and packages, in parallel (for different purposes) makes me wonder though:

    Is there any way to get the versioning aspect of packages into addressables instead of having all this magic in there that when uploading, some magic hashes are created but you should never delete the local files otherwise everything brakes etc? The catalogs are nice for starting in my opinion but they are too difficult to handle in some cases (e.g. where addressables are uploaded from multiple parties into one common repository).

    For me it would be much better if I could somehow create addressables with a specific version and in my client app I would actively select the version and this would also declare the versioned dependencies so that everything is always reproducable?
