@mkj @nick@norden.social @nick@hhmx.de Right, but the vast majority of our end users don't know what version numbers mean, so going from eg 7.1 to 9.3 doesn't say anything to them. Using year.month gives them a bit more context. We've done research and listened to our users, and many want this.
Of course, others won't be happy. Any time we make any change, some people are happy, some not. Version numbers don't just exist in a vacuum, and we'll provide more context about the degree of change in our announcements.
