Yeah, for me too. The reason is that people are informed that certain bugs are fixed in (and after) certain post-releases, so they really need to know which one they have.

but don't care at all about post-release levels as
long as it works. Either way works. The latter mechanism is a logical
extension of CVS/SVN release naming,

And is good for the same reason pre-release is (stop users complaining
because they don't understand the actual version used)

but it introduces icky underscores
and makes the n-v-r longer (for what benefit)?

There's no reason not to sanitize alphatags, using small caps and
replacing underscores with something else (nothing, dot, whatever).
Alphatags are informative


As you brought that up... I saw that some keep the uppercase letters from the upstream tag or tar ball version, others make it lower case.

What is the correct way?
