You do realize you just broke openssh version numbering
Here is my vote for the best order: 1.0alpha < 1.0beta < 1.0pre < 1.0rc < 1.0 < 1.0a < 1.0b < 1.0c
This is possible only with hardcoding the order, but that's overkill IMO.
I think I just restored the old behavior, what we had before is : 1.0a < 1.0alpha < 1.0b < 1.0beta < 1.0c < 1.0pre < 1.0rc < 1.0
Great! The most important point was that 1.0 was > than 1.0anything, and new behavior changed this (which I didn't like because of unneeded breakage of packages) So restoring to the old behavior is good.
Yeah, poor example... In the v1.2ish era they went 1.2 -> 12.p2 -> 1.2p3 but that was a while ago...
A better example is samba :)
samba used to have options=('force') so restoring to old behavior breaks nothing. Summary: [+] for restored old behavior, [-] for idea of hardcoding the order of version postfixes. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
