Considering that we already released official announcements de facto using
Plasma (Workspaces) 2 as branding for almost one year[1], I cannot see any 
positive thing about changing version numbering once again.

In addition there were countless blog posts published also through our
Planet KDE aggregator using Plasma (Workspaces) 2.

You may rightfully argue that Plasma2 is just a codename but since the Dot 
stories did not write "Next generation workspaces, tentatively called Plasma2" 
in the first sentence of every single article touching that topic, the 
de facto branding already exists.

Using an entirely new versioning is just grist to the mill of all the people 
who actually believe that following our upstream branding makes no sense in 
the first place because it'll be changed a few months down the road anyway 
(a few of them write about FOSS stuff on heise.de).

I suggest you guys just use Plasma 2.0, Plasma 2.1, ...
People have no problems understanding version numbers as long as they are 
coherent.
