0.rc1.5.fc23 ???

*sigh*  My motivation to do package reviews is hurt a lot by bad examples
like that. It's as if some people put a lot of effort into trying to ignore
the packaging guidelines:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Pre-Release_packages

 => 0.5.fc1.fc23  is what it's supposed to be

Why apply the pre-release versioning scheme, if another scheme works, too?
This time even in the RPM package itself. Explain that to new packagers!
All you can do is tell them that there are packaging guidelines and
pitfalls, and that some people hate the guidelines.
