Same here... the gkrellm post-release example where the "a" is moved to the
release doesn't seem necessary to me, as it'll go incrementing. Pretty much
like 1.0 -> 1.0pl1 -> 1.1 which won't cause any trouble.
But I think I'm merely pointing this out as RH/FC has always left
post-release version tags like these in the version... and like Panu, I'm
not against the change, especially since it's now so well documented ;-)
Great work Spot! (and those who wrote the original bits too)
