After reading, I decided I agreed with you, and wrote both a short sentence 
in the introduction:
Plasma Next is planned to be released as 2014.06 on the 17th of June.
And a longer, separate one later on:
A note on versioning and naming: The code name "Plasma Next" always points to 
the upcoming release of Plasma. The current Alpha will be 2014.06, released 
in June of this year. If the team opts for a 6 month release cycle (still to 
be determined) Plasma Next will mean 2014.12 once 2014.06 is out.

Check the article and tell me what you think:

Feedback welcome.
