Now we have a reboot. This LineageOS must start in which number?
1.0 according with its birth?
7.1 according android's version?
14.1 according previous CM's version?

I personally prefer 7.1

14.1 would be better, as it is new version of cyanogen

I vote for Android version numbers but with more characters, not necessarily numbers, to signify LOS revisions. So 7.1.1A, 7.1.1B, etc (of course preceded by 7.1.1 Beta 1 and 7.1.1 RC1).

My only other idea is to not use numbers at all. Start with the same letter than the current Android version is, and choose some other word (not necessarily a confection, but could be). So just example LineageOS Nerd, and then Nerd-A, etc.

Best keep it as the CM naming. Otherwise its pointless changing of things just for the sake of it. Its worked just fine for the past 6 years.

Please just use the android version numbers and put the build number behind it, like that:
LinOS7.1v32 for example

Same as Android version it's based on.

So right not is should be 7.1

This way, its easy to understand its new-ness.

When anybody is co.paring it with Stock Android released by Google.
