Which is not to say that upstream's twisted numbering scheme won't do *something* unexpected. Which is one reason I'd rather see us use the %{X}.%{alphatag} syntax always. The other reason is that using it always makes things less complicated. Instead of asking::
Is this a prerelease or a postrelease? If postrelease, is upstream likely to use sane numbering? If no, use postrelease scheme If yes, use upstreams version until they screw up one time If prerelease, use prerelease scheme
Our rule would be:: Does upstreams version have an alpha tag? If yes, use alphatag versioning.
I'm not opposed to this. I wonder how many examples of the old model are actually in Fedora.
