Same here... the gkrellm post-release example where the "a" is moved to the release doesn't seem necessary to me, as it'll go incrementing. Pretty much like 1.0 -> 1.0pl1 -> 1.1 which won't cause any trouble. But I think I'm merely pointing this out as RH/FC has always left post-release version tags like these in the version... and like Panu, I'm not against the change, especially since it's now so well documented ;-) Great work Spot!
