IMO, an over-engineered miss-feature in the guidelines.
It prevents 3rd party packagers to supply packages. Otherwise, they
could resort to use:
2.7.0-0%{?dist}.M
So now they have to use 2.7.0-0.%{X}.%{alphatag}%{?dist} instead of
2.7.0-%{X}%{?dist}, and make sure their 0.%{X}.%{alphatag} il higher or
equal than mine just as they'd have to make sure their %{X} would be
higher or equal to mine.
News at 11, what's broken ?
