- -1.

Another implication:  eggs which have '-r[0-9]+' in them should *never*
be released to any location where they might be found by anyone not
explicitly requesting them.  Specifically, this means the cheeseshop as
well as any public 'find-links' or 'index-url' location.

Nobody should ever "nail" a dependency to such an egg without taking
responsibility for hosting it themselves.  Frankly, anybody who *wants*
such an egg should instead be using a checkput + 'setup.py develop',
instead;  anything else is an invitation to disaster.
