     @psykose I guess Debian could use IPv6 instead of their weird #.#.#+dfsg-#+really-#.#.#

     @psykose I usually try to not understand whatever debian does, specially given that it's pretty much a bunch of distro devs turfs in a trenchcoat.

     Ironically I kind of like the date formatted versions now. I used to hate them so much. Did I think Ubuntu was going to last until 2100? 23.04 is not a bad version scheme. YYYY.MM.DD isn't either I guess

     @feld @psykose Only reason I'm not found of them is because sometimes they switch back, and any kind of version comparison would say that like 2012.02.13 is greater than say 5.0
     
     For distros it makes a lot of sense though, it's not like say a BSD where you actually version the base system, but instead it's nearly just a snapshot of the package repository.

     In the FreeBSD ports tree we are supposed to prefix the version style dates with 0.0 like
     
     0.0.2023.10.24
     
     So if they do change we have a valid comparison for upgrades
