I am not familiar with setuptools and I expect that many others who
care about __version__ conventions are not either.  Please explain
exactly how setuptools depend on what is stored in __version__  and
why using 'final' in place of svn revision number in file names will
not solve your problems.

I would be against any change that will affect  map(int,
__version__.split('.')[:3]).
