Otherwise, people will start sending these version numbers out in emails, and now somethign that was unique in the senders repo is actually not unique at the receivers side (or _is_ unique, but points to something totally different). So no. A revision number like "v2.6.26-rc8-227" is fundamentally and utterly broken. No way it should ever be accepted, even as a "helpful" thing, because it's not helpful at all. It would be a sure way to crap.
