As soon as you have a different naming convention for numeric and non
numeric qualifiers all the code that manipulates your package names
must test if the qualifier is numeric or not, to add the hyphen or not.
It is much simpler to just assume -<qualifier> everywhere, without
testing <qualifier> in any way.
That’s why
%package XXX
will create foo-XXX by default, and not ask you to split hairs and test
if XXX is numeric or not (yes the hyphen separator is built in rpm core
logic)
What you say is true. I still don't agree that "python3.9" as a package name
annoys humans. And I don't understand what kind of automation are we talking
about that needs to parse the "3.9" part and figure out it is a "qualifier".
Such automation is broken anyway, because it cannot tell if python-requests is a
Python library or a Python "qualifier".
