Dot suffixes are traditionally used for branches. We use them

I dont think you do, are you telling me that he package Seaside2.8a1
has a branch called ".8a1"
Yes, that's the 2.8 branch. Up to 2.8 every version had its own
branch.
There are smaller examples in the 2.9 repository. For example you have
these 3 branches of the core package Seaside-Core:
Seaside-Core-pmm.configcleanup.53.mcz, Seaside-Core-jf.cache.3.mcz,
Seaside-Core-jf.painter.10.mcz. The first two have been merged at some
point, the latter one has been dropp-.
The original Monticello UI once grouped and sorted these branches
nicely. Somebody broke that a long time ago. Another problem is that
some people decided to use a dot within their initials, that 'breaks'
it too ;-)
Yeah. I know the guy :)
Now it would be good to settle down and have one way to do things.
So I'm eager to hear concrete proposals :)
Out of the 40 000 versions on SqueakSource there are almost 2 000
versions that use named branching (200 without Seaside). Furthermore,
I know many commercial projects that use named branches as part of
their development/release cycles. So it is certainly not some feature
that you can just ignore when changing Monticello.
