Not here it doesn't:

I agree with Carl-Daniel, that we should probably switch to a non-svn
based versioning scheme. For now, it avoids the headache of "how do we
do it". It also means that down the road if we don't touch superiotool
for 6 months, the version hasn't been bumped 300 times by LinuxBIOSv2
commits, without ever touching the tool. Which means that if this ever
starts making it into packages, maintainers don't have the headache of
trying to figure out if there actually is an updated version or not.
Just my 2 cents.
