Research direction

Start by locating the code that generates or normalizes slugs for @since taxonomy terms; the issue names no files or tests. Compare the current docs.example.com/since/1-0-0 behavior with the requested docs.example.com/since/1.0.0 form, and verify that periods are preserved without breaking existing taxonomy URLs.

Description

wontfix

http://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/periods-in-titles/ allows periods in post and term slugs. I use it at, for example, http://genesischangelog.com/2.0.2 .

It would be good if periods would be allowed for the @since taxonomy terms, so docs.example.com/since/1-0-0 would become a friendlier looking and naturally quicker to type docs.example.com/since/1.0.0 .
