Well ... we were all over the place, part of that was the limitations

I know. I have dealt with them all over the years :-P (RCS, CVS, svn, git,
p4, hg, ...)
I just want a bit of consistency. Something that people can look at 20 years
down the road and (hopefully) immediately understand.
I like consistency as much as anybody, but in this case, why make 20
years of developers suffer?
On all of my projects that I switched to git, I INSTANTLY got rid of the
silly CVS restriction of having - and .s in tags with no reservations
whatsoever. I use git tag -n with a small enough number that keeps me
from seeing the hideous old tags.
I'm with Ken.
