Re: [ide-dev] Dropping the release names (Neon, Oxygen) from user downloads

+1

Having a baseline is important and shipping e.g. "Eclipse 2016 Update 3" in February 2017 would be very confusing.

Currently we label the release with a name and a version, e.g. Neon (4.6). Another solution would be to keep the name and replace the version with the date, e.g. Neon (06/2016) and Neon.1 (09/2016) and Neon.3 (02/2017).

Gunnar, Platform may also change their policy over time so you should not pick a schema that assumes Platform will forever work like today


I'm with Gunnar on this one. If the release structure/rhythm changes, we can always change the versioning again to better suit the new release structure. But not the other way around,  we shouldn't change to a versioning scheme that doesn't suit the current release structure. Your suggestion of having a real date like "16.10" makes it totally unclear if it is a major release or a minor one.
