i was mainly talking about the cvs tags/branches

the downloads don't need the last version numbers

2.8.0.0 can named as 2.8-RC1 or 2.8.0 RC1 as download file name
...
2.8.0.3 can named as 2.8-pl1 if you _really_ want this plx
2.8.1.0 can named as 2.8.1
2.8.1.1 can named as 2.8.1-pl1


i also often saw

2.7.9   as  2.8-RC1
2.7.9.1 as  2.8-RC2
2.8     as  2.8(-Final)


normally the last (fourth) number is the build number,

the number after the - is the rpm paket version, not the app version
