a) Where's the annoyment exactly? It is easy to change and it's a release-time decision anyway. b) In a previous discussion on a zope mailinglist (about using '0' for this purpose, which was pretty much shot down for the zope toolkit because of the problems attached to it), someone mentioned adding '+svn' to the previous version number. So from 0.3.1 to 0.3.1+svn. Apparently that sorts it behind 0.3.1. You could try something like that. The poster mentioned it as a debian standard.
