I know this version suffix isn't used by PHP, but there were some problems because PEAR packages used it, and i don't see any problem with `version_compare()` handling non-php versions as well. (Afaik, the "alpha" and "beta" suffixes are also not used, but they are in version_compare). -- Regards, Stefan Walk
