What do you mean by "first"? We already support the likes of "28.3 Beta3", and "Beta3" is not ignored there as some free-text comment. And that is assuming the developers of 3rd-party packages can have some reasonable way of associating their versions with Emacs versions, which I still think is a problem with no solution.
