That would make poor little kittens cry. But it's not disliked by our policies, so you could do that. "Forever" is such a relative term :-)
I've been relucant to change gcc from using gcc48-4.8.1_20130909 to gcc48-4.8.1_202388 for that reason. Unfortunately gcc48-4.8.1_20130909 is not upgradeable to gcc48-4.8.1_svn202388 so I have to wait for GCCs svn revision to increase beyond 20130909 ;) Or use a different separator (+ and . match _ but - would be newer).
Surely you can just wait for 4.8.2?
