I've brought this up elsewhere, but I will state an opinion on this thread- I think keeping pkgrel to an integer is a much smarter idea. First off, that version number is hard to parse by a human- far too many dashes and dots to know which is what. Second, the only change I've ever seen that uses a .1 increment is adding an architecture to the arch array. This is completely unnecessary- there is no need to bump the pkgrel at all, and if you do want to bump it, then just bump it a full integer.
