Yes, but the conflict here is that Max wants the qualifier to start with
the name (M1, Alpha1), not a timestamp (as we did for JBoss Tools 3.3 /
JBDS 5). This is to avoid being able to incorrectly "upgrade" from M2 to
M1 should the timestamp of the M2 build be older than the M1.

To allow OSGi ASCII ordering it's either (NOTE: dates are hypothetical):
4.0.0.20120830-M1
4.0.0.20120930-M2
4.0.0.Beta1-20121030
4.0.0.CR1-20121115
4.0.0.Final-20121130
or
4.0.0.Alpha1-20120830
4.0.0.Alpha2-20120930
4.0.0.Beta1-20121030
4.0.0.CR1-20121115
4.0.0.Final-20121130
Personally, I prefer the symmetry of the second option.
Note too that 0-9 < A-Z < a-z, so if we move forward w/ Alpha1, users
would have to uninstall that early build to upgrade to features with a
timestamp-Mx qualifier, as 2012 < Alpha1.
