           Summary: [Feature request] beta and alpha productnumber values
           Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
           Version: 5.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium

Description of problem:
Some products have ambiguous beta version names, some have downright crazy
release schedules and some have written codenames for prerelease versions. In
order to make maintainable beta versions which can be uploaded to the staging
server in a sane fashion (ie not emailing release engineering 3 times a week) I
propose that strings not entirely made up of numbers default to a productnumber
value of zero. Using productnumber=0 presently works displaying a value of 0 in
the title field. This feature request propose that the text in productnumber be
written to the title field and the number 0 is used for the RPM file and brew
values.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
.38

Additional info:
Should be an easy feature to add and Brian has agreed.
