It should have the full version.  You never know when an application will need 
to ensure that it's running with 4.2.3 or better, and as long as it's 
documented from the beginning as having the full version applications that 
start coding against it won't be surprised in the future.

It may be worth it to allow a tag at the end to account for distro-specific 
patches (i.e. 4.1.0-gentoo) but that may be overkill.
