Is it? It makes everything more difficult as it's alpha-numeric instead of 
just numeric and with such a scheme I would assume that it is the beta for 
June 2014 release. Thus the release 2014.06 would have a smaller version 
number than the beta release.

2014.06 < 2014.06-rc3
2014.06-0 < 2014.06-rc3
2014.06-final < 2014.06-rc3

etc.

And as already discussed using the date of the final release in pre-releases 
is dangerous.

Cheers
