+1 it's far better as it avoids mistakes leading to conflicting
versions on classpath

Agree with Hardy. I never needed the feature myself but I suspect it
would useful to have an indication to which draft it's supposed to
refer to. At the same time you might have fixes which apply on the
same draft so I think this version could be more practical:

2.1.0-draft1-v2

but making sure the "draft" part of the scheme respects alphabetical
ordering.. I don't remember all rules but products use such a scheme
with -redhat-v2 or v3 at the end to match a community release + some
level of patching. Seems to work well for them.
