CyanogenMod version numbers correspond to android versions (N is 14th letter of alphabet, M is 13th etc), no reason to change it.

I vote to go with the Android version for clarification. For instance new people to flashing will need to download GAPPS.

I'm sorry, but who in the heck is going to know that cm14 refers to a letter in the alphabet. And what letter is 14.1?

Who the heck that is new to flashing is going to know that 14.1 refers to 7.1.

Let's stop trying to build on what does not make sense, follow Androids version numbering from Google which will mean everyone will know what the next version will be call, no debates period.

There is no sense in going out of the way. Start with 7.1 and keep it in sync to what Google releases. Don't make things more complicated then they have to be.

I do find the Cyanogenmod numbering a bit confusing. I'd rather have it follow the Android system.

I think they should use the android version numbers and put the build number behind it... LOS 7.1.1V2, LOS 7.1.1V3, LOS 7.1.1V4 and so on...

I mean newbies who can't find out the version number probably haven't even got past the unlock bootloader / TWRP stage yet.

Im all for 1.0 it would be ballsy.

Im using CM since my 1st Android device (HTC Magic) and had no idea of this... Not that practical, I guess.

I mean, even now that I know it is not that easy to think what Android verion is, lets say, CM11... (Im singing the alphabet song conting in my fingers and then I have to make the dessert-to-Android numbering conversion later on).

Its just like the imperial system!

The Ubuntu system sounds cooler
For those of you who don't know, if a build of Ubuntu was released on October 10th, it's version number would be 10.10 (YY.MM)

I totally agree. Keeping it in line is more simple. Although I love how people like to say if you can't figure out what version of Android a ROM uses you must be to stupid to get past a boot locker.

Seriously not everyone learns everything at once, let's make this as clear for newbies. Just because the rest of you know the history of CM and others want to start at 1.0 because it is a new project doesn't mean we should. Matching with Android versioning will keep everyone in the same page.

As good example, Ubuntu thought about the user experience by making things just work out of the box vs some more advance learning curve distros.... Because of this Ubuntu is one of the most popular distributions. It looked at everyone instead of just those who had been using Linux for years.

Make it easy for new users to adopt, make it plain out bold and obvious that it is in line with Android versioning.
