In this link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Pre-Release_package... where we read :

Release Tag for Pre-Release Packages:

0.%{X}.%{alphatag}%{?dist}

And I'm proposing :

0[.%{X}].%{alphatag}[.%{Y}]%{?dist}

is just better IMHO .

Personally, I think it's too complicated due to the optional nature of X and Y parts and it's just as easy to get wrong if subsequent alphatag breaks release monontonicity and the package maintainer doesn't notice it.

With X being currently mandatory, at least you know you must always increase it every time you update the package, so monotonicity is preserved.
