This whole discussion started with the request to mention the exact git tag string in the about dialog. It helps developers to distinguish what exact sources were used to produce the buggy build. Unfortunately, we have two demands. The abbreviations "alpha", "beta", "rc", and "final" are better understandable for users. They are more intuitive when describing the stability and amount of passed testing. The numbers are needed for packagers because they help installer to decide what package is newer. Note that the package versions are compared alphanumerically, so 3.3rc1 > 3.3final > 3.3 IMHO, users know what they download and install. They usually check the about dialog only when they want to report a bug => I prefer to use the numbers everywhere and use the abbreviation only in the announce mails and maybe for tarballs with packages.
