Which do you think should be the numbering of LineageOS?

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.

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)

It's actually year-month - 10.10 was October 2010. Releases are every April and October, so it's always __.04 or __.10.

Now that I think about it, their alphabetical release names are a lot like Android's, but with animals instead of candy.

Hmmm, animals and candy, hmmm can't use fruits, be a bit weird having Apple... Hmmm
