Quoting our release announcement for 4.11: "KDE is delighted to announce its 
latest set of releases, providing major updates to KDE Plasma Workspaces, KDE 
Applications, and the KDE Platform."

And a rolling release might have version numbers. I'm using a rolling distro 
and it has version numbers, but I never know which one it is. So that argument 
works in both direction. I think there is no real sign that rolling releases 
do not have a version number.
