> The claim is that sp < final, which if true is incorrect according to spec.
> It is easy to demonstrate that this is not fixed and also not in line with
> the spec, with just this one important example (yes this does break for us):
> $ jbang org.apache.maven:maven-artifact:3.8.6 1.0.final-redhat-0001
> 1.0.sp1-redhat-0001
> Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form and as a list of
> tokens) and comparison result:
> 1. 1.0.final-redhat-0001 -> 1-redhat-1; tokens: [1, [redhat, [1]]]
> 1.0.final-redhat-0001 < 1.0.sp1-redhat-0001
> 2. 1.0.sp1-redhat-0001 -> 1.0.sp-1-redhat-1; tokens: [1, 0, sp, [1, [redhat,
> [1]]]]
> versus
> $ jbang org.apache.maven:maven-artifact:3.8.7 1.0.final-redhat-0001
> 1.0.sp1-redhat-0001
> Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form and as a list of
> tokens) and comparison result:
> 1. 1.0.final-redhat-0001 -> 1-redhat-1; tokens: [1, [redhat, [1]]]
> 1.0.final-redhat-0001 > 1.0.sp1-redhat-0001
> 2. 1.0.sp1-redhat-0001 -> 1-sp-1-redhat-1; tokens: [1, [sp, [1, [redhat,
> [1]]]]]
> As you can see, our `sp` release is now ordered after our `final` release
> despite this clear text in the "spec":
> Non-numeric tokens ("qualifiers") have the alphabetical order, except for
> the following tokens which come first in this order: "alpha" < "beta" <
> "milestone" < "rc" = "cr" < "snapshot" < "" = "final" = "ga" < "sp"
> It's clear that this tokenization isn't really correct by any reasonable
> measurement, and breaking large amounts of (our) existing artifacts in the
> wild is definitely not OK.
