Wearing my distro packager hat, I can understand the concerns because to
pick the highest version you obviously need to know it. For one package
this is not that much of a problem, but for example for >= 200 packages
released with Gear it can be.
Furthermore I'm a little concerned that the same last digit can stand for a
"private" and public release as well, just depending on the unrelated fact
if a respin was needed or not. I assume using something like -rcN, like
Frameworks currently do, is not that attractive because after the testing
phase all final tarballs need to be created, even if they are identical to
the last -rc, right?
