Let's do the following: Keep the change with RC1/RC2 even 3.8.x with the
docs in place and see whether will be reports due to the change in behavior. If
really someone complains I'd be willing to fix this regression and release
3.8.8 for this. Otherwise this edge case fix makes life much easier for others.

> The current version parser does not treat .RC and -RC correctly:
> actual : 1.0.0.RC1 > 1.0.0-RC2
> expected : 1.0.0.RC1 < 1.0.0-RC2

> how to fix : place a list item before qualifier
> the intention is to have this same result with all qualifier x:
> actual : 1.0.0.X1 > 1.0.0-X2
> actual : 1.0.X < 1.0.0.X
> expected : 1.0.0.X1 < 1.0.0-X2
> expected : 1.0.X == 1-X == 1.0.0.X
