Then IMHO it should not be on decimal releases either then. If rpm.org
make _any_ change and cut a new tarball they will update the version
number at which time so should Mandrake and then cycle the release back
to 1mdk. Having a goal of every package being at 1mdk when the next
Linux Mandrake release goes out is just silly, IMHO. Think of it in
terms of all of the "Cookers" out there. We will all have to update
*every* single package on our cooker boxes needlessly (for nothing more
than release stamping) just so that our cooker boxes lineup with the
final release. Silly.

Agreed. See my previous question then.
