Why not SemVer? It would look so simple and logical. I don’t need to know the release year as an user, stability and convenience is what I looking for. I can decide, update this thing it not, just by looking at major version number, but date tells me nothing about backward compatibility

The date IS the major/minor version. Knowing when the thing was released is bonus metadata. A lot of people find it useful.

Okay, so be it. I want to emphasize that the purpose of numbering has shifted from technical to marketing. For development purposes, it was better before.
