Tough choice between these two. This one (above) is visually quite useful, since it visually separates the main from the sub version. +1 for the above.
3) "DRUPAL-4-7-R-1" and "DRUPAL-4-7-R-1-0"
Good. I like the patterned (and therefore machinable) separation. Each "space" between a hyphen contains a relevant and sequential part. In the option "1)" above, the "empty" space between consecutive hyphens is just slightly less machineable, in my view. (I am thinking about a script, say PHP or AppleScript, which breaks apart a file name string into constituent parts. This is sometimes helpful in automated file systems.) Even given this very minor logical difference, I still think I prefer the first pattern for ease of visual cues and for neutrality with respect to language ("revision" is an English word, even though quite common in software jargon and so this is probably not an issue worth any real political-cultural wrangling.) +.75 for the above.
5) "DRUPAL-4-7_1" and "DRUPAL-4-7_1-0" (just for comparison, this isn't a contender)
Whew! Thank the Gods. -- inkfree
