IMHO any alphanumeric sufix should be recognized as part of package version.

For example I will use X.Y.Z-MN where NM is a code that indicate the symfony branch used for reference. I think that is usefull if in the future I will release parallel versions for SF 2.0 y SF 2.1 maintaining similar features.

Also could be used to show PC architecture or any other data. For example i386, nginx, apache, windows, unix, etc.
