Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for extensible change set conflict and merge gap detection in a record-based configuration management system, the method comprising: instructing the record-based configuration management system to create a change set, wherein the record-based configuration management system comprises a set of artifacts in a delivery and change management system comprising a change set artifact, including a unique identifier of a change set and a reference to a stream in which the change set was created; and a version mapping artifact, including a unique identifier of a version mapping and an identifier of a user who created the version mapping; instructing the record-based configuration management system to add one or more version mappings to a given configuration and to indicate specific concepts which should be flagged as not participating in a process that includes change set conflict and merge gap detection; instructing the record-based configuration management system to deliver the change set to a requestor; identifying version mappings identified by a change set being committed; retrieving current version mappings in a target stream, for concepts identified in the change set being delivered; and for each concept in the change set being delivered:
