It's a scary amount of projects these days managed by a bunch of ZIP files:

Program-2.4.zip
Program-2.4-FIXED.zip
Program-2.4-FIXED2.zip
Program-2.4-FIXED-final.zip
Program-2.4-FIXED-final-REAL.zip
Program-2.4-FIXED-FINAL-no-seriously.zip
Program-2.4-FINAL-use-this.zip
Program-2.4-FINAL-use-this-2.zip
Program-2.4-working-maybe.zip
Program-2.4-FINAL-BUGFIX-LAST-ONE.zip
Program-2.4-FINAL-BUGFIX-LAST-ONE-v2.zip

I did that with documents in my Uni years.
By the end, I was using ISO timestamps.

Program-1.5-DeleteThis.zip

Inspired by a small collaboration project from a few years ago.

If we're talking actual builds then zip files are perfectly fine as long as the revs make chronological sense.

I'm not. I'm talking about in companies where dev A wants dev B to do some work, but they don't use git or any kind of source control, so you email over a cursed ZIP file, then dev B does the work and sends it back with a different name. It's a highly cursed situation.

Yeah that's bad.
