It's describing version numbering that people undestand and that will work in rpm. What's wishful thinking is to think you can drop just any versionning convention in rpm and it will magically process it. Before this convention was written we had many cases of packagers with the same attitude as you that blindly dropped upstream versions in rpm and where surprised when they upgrade paths didn't work. You can see the traces to this day in packages with insane epoch numbers used to workaround broken versionning. -- Nicolas Mailhot
