RMS doesn't like hyphenated ranges because (legally speaking) one cannot be
sure whether there were releases in all of the omitted years. I think by
implication we cannot expand such a range incase we accidentally name a year
which didn't have a release... certainly, I have always resisted the
temptation to expand ranges when I come across them.
Richard, I'm Cc:ing you in the hope that you can clear this up... I guess
adding address@hidden (? I'm not sure of the exact alias to reach all of
the GNU developers) to the distribution list of your reply would be
worthwhile.
Cheers,
Gary.
