Well, only since you asked, it seems to me if you're going to include 
completely every single functional / code change in 0.35, it *is* 0.35 
and you should honestly declare $VERSION to be 0.35.  Stripping out some 
docs and unused metadata doesn't seem to me to make it 0.33 + 
selectively backported fixes.  This is really just a (very slightly 
riskier) repackaging of 0.35.

Outside of going through these contortious for our release management, a 
dependency or person that wants to check the verison wants to know what 
verison the *code* came from, not whether or not the copyright year or a 
bouncing email address are in the docs are from 0.33...

But the most important thing by far is just getting it fixed so 
transactions don't fail, so if making it a fake 0.33 is what works, then 
yeah, that's a whole lot better than not doing it.
