Thanks for the link to Cargo’s versioning docs.

In Python, packaging is authoritative. Past that version str thru packaging and it was modified.

Honestly misunderstood, thinking there was 22 alpha releases.

Am still misreading it. The alpha and dev portions are not distinctive enough to be clear. Didn’t even see in the Cargo dev portion mentioned.

Obviously publishing dev releases is not allowed, but in git dev commits are a thing.
