Right, this is my perspective as well. The point that the wheel format already includes a build ordering field was significant because that file naming scheme has an official specification.

Other commands like bdist_egg, bdist_dumb and bdist_wininst aren't as strict about the expected file names, although it would be good to define a suggested optional build numbering convention at least for bdist_egg, such that easy_install will do the right thing, even if the full source level version number isn't bumped.

This is just as relevant for sdists as well. It is quite common to see a broken release due to a missing or wrong MANIFEST.in.


Test them prior to uploading them.
