"3.0.2" is hard to parse? Are you serious? This reads like a complaint about the state of package managers, not a convincing argument against common versioning schemes. I really think you should break this up into two posts. Package managers have nothing to do with versioning. At a fundamental level, any package manager can be adapted to work with any proposed versioning scheme. Likewise, versioning isn't just a feature of package managers. The software I write for my job has version numbers, even though it isn't distributed through any package manager.
