I believe that the current situation is as close to consensus as we will get on distutils-sig, and in the interests of avoiding months of further discussion which won't take things any further, I propose to allow final comments from python-dev and then look for a final decision.
Great work, Tarek. I think you've managed to establish a good body of knowledge on this and the proposal seems sound.
That said, I think the terms ``LooseVersion`` and ``StrictVersion`` are less than optimal. Really, what's meant is ``LexicalVersion`` and ``ChronologicalVersion`` (or ``NumberedVersion``). It's not about strictness or looseness.
Also, the word "rational" is not familiar to me in the context of versions; is this term known outside of this proposal? I couldn't find any reference to it.
