Our policy is similar. If the new revision is not backwardly compatible
with the old revision, its not a rev change. Its a part number change.
In our system, the only thing linking the new part number to the old part
number is the paper redline on the old part number's drawing, that crosses
out the old part number, notes the new part number, and the required
revision.

Hi Lisa,
We tend to agree with your opening statement. If there is no chance that Rev
A will be needed again, then we simply add Rev B.
We create new Part Numbers for all others. The New Part Number references
the old Rev. for ease of reporting/tracking.
Happy Holidays,
