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.
