Let me invent a statistic: 99% of all packages produced by everyone ever
use '.' as a component separator in release/version/etc fields - it is
an accepted convention.

The question is: why be inconsistent with all those packages, and start
using a comma?  It makes no difference to rpmvercmp, it still treats the
field as three separate segments.
