Hi, I must admit that I see it rather the opposite way :) For me (when looking back at my user-but-not-developer time), I was always slightly confused why KDE SC release numbers were different to the application versions. Using a naming scheme that only carries the date of the release would solve this. One could argue that this is the same with KF5/Plasma as they also consist of several apps/libs with their own version numbers. But from my point of view, KF5/Plasma are something that is "more consistent" in providing a foundation for development or a consistent user experience, which an applications release hardly can do. If using naming schemes like YYYY.MM, what would be the style for minor releases? Appending days is probably not a good solution ;) Yet increasing the month counter would not make it clear if the release is a major or a minor/bugfix release. Cheers, Andreas
