In doing some checking of updates to come I noticed something that I consider "odd".
Currently I have kde-plasma-nm-0.9.3.4-12.fc20.x86_64 installed on my system. I see in updates-testing that the next update will be 0.9.3.4-14.20140916gitf2ca6ae.fc20.
Why all the extra digits?

20140916 = date of the snapshot gitf2ca6ae = git tag

why not?
that informations are so much more clear than just the version number if someone wants to browse GIT and review changes

One reason could be the fact that the packager chose to package a development version instead of a released version, for example if the git revision has the patches that (s)he considered appropriate to include.
I have not look into this specific case so my considerations are generic. :-)

Hi,
exactly!! I decided to package a git snapshot, because there are important fixes for 0.9.3.4 version. You don't have to be worry about stability, because I know, as an upstream developer of plasma-nm, what is safe and important to include in Fedora or not.

No worries about stability.
The longer names are just long enough to wrap lines on my terminal making it just a bit less readable for me.
Sure, why not. :-)
