In re-reading PEP 386, I noticed that the "Version Specifiers" section explicitly excludes post releases like "2.5.post1" or "2.5.1.post1" from matching a request for "2.5". I can understand excluding all pre-releases from a general request like "2.5", but why exclude post releases? Aren't those intended to fix minor release issues that don't warrant a version number bump? As in, if I have a choice between "2.5", "2.5.post1" and "2.5.post2", isn't "2.5.post2" going to be the one I want, rather than "2.5"?
