Comment (by dd32):

 Unfortunately I was wrong. Suffixing the version will have issues with
 version_compare(), To quote php.net:

 > Then it compares the parts starting from left to right. If a part
 contains special version strings these are handled in the following order:
 '''any string not found in this list < dev < alpha = a < beta = b < RC =
 rc < # < pl = p'''. This way not only versions with different levels like
 '4.1' and '4.1.2' can be compared but also any PHP specific version
 containing development state.

 As such, 3.2.1 is Greater than 3.2.1-r12345, and 3.2.1-r12345 is greater
 than 3.2.1-RC1. As such, this will be problematic for users who checkout
 stable versions, They'll get a update notification for the same version
 they're running (if $wp_version is suffixed in version.php, if it was done
 anywhere else, it should be fine for updates, but might have issues
 elsewhere).
