What's the point of allowing that format?
1. It destroys consistency (and the fact that the formats are now
"suggested" rather than required do, too).
2. It omits information.
3. It can become really confusing if upstream switches to another revision
control system with the same revision ID format (e.g., from one
distributed SCM using hashes to another, e.g., git to hg or hg to git).
And also, why, if essentially the whole versioning guidelines were
rewritten, was the opportunity not taken to also finally use the tilde in
Version instead of the legacy Release hack?
