That's not a very powerful syntax, so unless I miss something, metadata.xml would have to be updated for almost every stable candidate. To give an example, released versions of app-editors/emacs have exactly two numerical components, while prereleases and release candidates have three components or are marked _rc. Both would be impossible to match with the proposed syntax. So IMHO this has no advantage over keeping the information in the ebuild (e.g. as a PROPERTIES token). Ulrich
