That would make it simpler for the Fedora packager as well as packaging for
other distributions/OSs. Plus, it's also a nicer way to keep archives of old
versions just in case. (For example: Version 1.1 may work, but 1.2 may have a
regression, and the only way to reliably compare the two is from their source
tarballs.
Note: This generally doesn't have to be a specific x.y(.z) version scheme or
similar. Some projects use datestamps for their versions.
