This is a good reason not to separate the two, although I'm unsure 
what the commit message would look like.

Confusingly, their ‘releases’ page[0] lists 4.2.0 as ‘Latest 
release’.  As GitHub actively encourages poor release management 
this might just be an oversight, but it would be nice if this were 
clarified.  Is 4.2.1 generally accepted as the current stable 
release?

There's a (git-file-name name version) helper that will do the 
same thing, prettier.

I'm going to improve the radare2 description on master so this 
hunk can be dropped.

Would you be willing to send a V2 patch to this bug number (and 
think of a good commit message following our standards[1])?  

Kind regards,

T G-R
