choosing the lesser evil - mednafen versioning scheme

Hi,

mednafen devs have released a new version today. It's 0.8.A, and it is
newer than 0.8.9 (think hex). The problem is that rpm thinks that 0.8.9
is older. This seems like epoch bump will be necessary, but kwizart
suggested using fake version (0.8.10). I personally believe that epoch
is a lesser evil here, but I'm open for suggestions. What is so wrong
with using epoch anyway?

Regards,
Julian
