Anyway, the discussion seems to have drifted away from the original
question whether versions should be sorted using the semver version
modifier schema. That is: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-rc1 < 1.0.0-rc2
< 1.0.0

Which is a totally different matter than that ASDF or any other library
should be using semver itself or that semver was a bad or a good idea.

My take here is that if someone releases 1.0.0-alpha *and* 1.0.0 then they
probably did not intend 1.0.0-alpha to be sorted *after* (as newer than)
1.0.0.
