I'm not either.

I think that going with the 5 scheme:

(a) Provides a nice continuity for users, packagers and developers,
    who don't need to get used to a new way of managing versions.

(b) Has great synergy with Qt and Frameworks, simplifying our
    messaging. It seems to be easy to take advantage of this
    synergy since we're provided with the opportunity.

(c) Avoids confusion with the release names of a certain popular
    distribution vendor.

(d) Avoids a lot of friction and uphill-battling against what
    people already have in their heads.

I don't really see a case for the YYYY.MM scheme that convinces
me it offsets a-d.


Cheers,
Eike
