For example, you promoted the fact that version checking code doesn't have to change, it does -- otherwise, you won't get prompted to upgrade from 2.0.0-rc1 to 2.0.0. I would also prefer 2.0.0-ms1 rather than -m1 for better clarity and symmetry with -rc1. > Willing to give it a chance? > I don't feel strongly enough to fight hard for something different, but I would prefer having a straightforward comparison do the right thing. We can certainly make the comparator understand the particular naming scheme, but that doesn't do well when/if we decide to change it (as it happens, that isn't a problem for older versions but it might be for future versions if we change the scheme). -- John A.
