I mentioned this to Paul already, but has received no response. It's
worse for monodevelop:

monodevelop-1.9.2-pre1.20090116svn123651.fc11.x86_64

Though at least RPM is sane enough to sort letters before numbers, so
1.9.2-pre1 is below 1.9.2-1, but yes, this makes Mono package versions
rather inconsistent.
