Yes. That makes it immediately obvious that the “post release number” component sorts within version numbers like any other component. > This would make the current version of Twisted 8.2.0.27002. Note that the specification I propose allows any alphanumeric character [0-9A-Za-z], so you could also make the version string ‘8.2.0.r27002’ if you want the “revision number” component to be visibly different while still having an obvious sequencing semantic. -- \ “Here is a test to see if your mission on earth is finished.
