No, you don't (really) get diffs, either. It's easy to think that a  
diff is generated between two versions, which isn't really happening.  
(Thankfully - it'd be much harder to implement if it were the case).

Roster change sequencing, which uses a roster change sequence, and  
associates each change with a roster change sequence value?

Or roster sequencing, etc, for a shorter term. s/version/roster-seq/  
throughout?
