1. What do we do with RC and milestone release tags, e.g. TOMCAT_7_0_0_RC4, TOMCAT_9_0_0_M27? 9.0.0.M27, 9.0.0-M27, 9.0.0_M27, or the same with lowercase 'm'? Historically, Tomcat 9 used a dot "9.0.0.M27" in announcements and in filenames [1][2], Tomcat 8 used a dash "8.0.0-RC10" in announcements and filenames [3][4] . Tomcat 7 used a "-beta" suffix in filenames [5]. Different downstream packagers (e.g. Maven, RPM) may have different rules regarding handling and sorting such names. The '-' symbol may be special.

The prefix "TOMCAT_x_y_" is fixed in a particular branch and has known length. I had processed similar strings with 'cut' utility [6]. This can also be processed by parameters substitution in shell [7]. Though somebody may call that magic as well.
