Yes, you are right. I think we should regard xconq-7.5.0-[123] as 
aberrations. And since we are essentially talking upgrade paths, 
perhaps the 7.4.1.<date> scheme is better, except that it might 
imply (to some people) that these are snapshots for an 
approaching 7.4.1 release instead of the 7.5 release. And 
7.5.0.<date> may be confused as a post-7.5 shapshot.

My preference is to leave the just the date in the snapshot RPM's. 
Perhaps I should pick different install paths for those, so that a 
release RPM and a snapshot RPM can peacefully coexist? This would 
also solve the version ordering / upgrade path issue.
