Certainly they may not sort the way you expect :)Another reason for disallowing this is that it makes decomposing a package name into P-V-R ambiguous
Going forward, I think we want to add this to the rules for hyphenation in [1]
needs to be VERSION=2.0.0; RELEASE=0.1.b9; then the next beta will be 0.2.b10, etc., until 2.0.0 is final with RELEASE=1.
Actually, since this is an existing package, it has a grandfathered-in exception to this rule, but it would be nice to bear this in mind for the future.
