Why not SemVer? It would look so simple and logical. I don't need to know the release year as an user, stability and convenience is what I looking for. I can decide, update this thing it not, just by looking at major version number, but date tells me nothing about backward compatibility
but date tells me nothing about backward compatibility
The date IS the major/minor version. Knowing when the thing was released is bonus metadata. A lot of people find it useful.
Okay, so be it. I want to emphasize that the purpose of numbering has shifted from technical to marketing. For development purposes, it was better before.
Doesn't help that the date based release looks a lot like semantic versioning which a confusing a lot of people. Should've just used Ubuntu's standard of 'yy.mm' instead of 'yy.m'
