Just after reading the email I also thought that 2014.06.2 looks "more 
consistent" than 2014.06-2, on the other hand 2014.06.2 may "easily" be 
confused with a date while 2014.06-2 not so much, so I'm not really sure what 
I like better :D

Cheers,

P.S: Yes I know, this email probably wasn't very useful :D
