@peat_psuwit said in On the subject of Ubuntu Touch versioning scheme:
We've considered 24.04 OTA-x.y. Unfortunately, (re-)using the word OTA could set the wrong expectation; by using the word OTA, many users will expect incremental, frequent updates (AKA rolling release).
Don't worry, users will expect unicorn rainbow farts anyway and while updates are a bit slow, technically UT is a rolling release
I'm really sorry that you have this sentiment. I also don't want to change the versioning scheme, but both the technical and practical reasons forced us to re-think how we will version Ubuntu Touch.
Don't be, it was mostly a joke, and, while I may not fully agree with the reasoning, it is overall a pretty minor change. I've been on the other side of this experience plenty of times. As a user I get upset about minor changes because they make up a much "larger" part of the user experience vs the experience as a developer where this is an "insignificant" side quest compared to all the development work actually being done
Also compare this change to the hot mess that is the current naming schemes from both intel and AMD
