The name of the tarball that is published as part of the release is
important, that I agree, maybe not "very" important, but important
anyhow. But what you are saying is that if the name of the file
generated by default by the Makefile is not exactly the same as the
tarball that will be published as part of the release then it is
"totally invalid". That is going too far, in my opinion.
It is important as the version not only appear at the tarball but within resources such as
script --version or Help->About.
It is also important as people generate their own builds from tags, and expect to get
proper version of tarball and content within.
This is not new, this is common to most of the open source world, oVirt is the exception
in this case.
Why do we want to be an exception?
