Can people point to some examples of projects using post-release tags, and that would require the use of a "dev release of a post release"?

Any project that uses a post-release tag and has multiple developers or multiple commits required to create that post-release version, will need the dev tagging to distinguish installed/development versions from each other, even if these intermediate versions are never "released" to PyPI. People working from checkouts will need them to keep their install/build tools happily humming along, able to tell which intermediate checkout version they're workign with and whether they are up-to-date.
