Things could break with strange enough upstream alphabetic release tags: Betas of 1.0 taking the form 1.0[a-z] will break on upgrade from 1.0s => final (foo-1.0-1.s.rh9 => foobar-1.0-1.rh9) Don't knwo if that's enough of a reason, though.
These kind of cases are already addressed in the naming proposals (unless recent ones have changed). Non numeric items in the Version tag should be avoided, and are generally moved into the Release: tag.
