question about PORTVERSIONing

Hi,

I have a question about determining PORTVERSION.

I was told to correct PORTVERSION 0.0.yyyy.mm.dd style [1] by a 
committer.
devel/ruby-build port now has yyyymmdd style PORTVERSION like 20141028 
and
yyyymmdd is the upstream's official versioning system.  I'm not using 
date
instead of version number since upstream has no version information but
just using through upstream version to PORTVERSION.

Do I have to use 0.0.yyyy.mm.dd in such case?
