The suggestion seems to be that projects using post releases should instead just add another component to their version.
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.
