It would be good to have simple and revealing names like release-X.Y
or branch-point-X.Y for tags etc.
And this would also then benefit rest of projects under YP umbrella if
they were to use same release numbering.
OE is a bit unique then other distribution frameworks in regards that
the user has to interact with sources since
its source based unlike other distro's like fedora and debian-like
which are binary feed based for most of users
and a small subset deals with the build metadata repositories. So it
would help the community at large if there
was simple naming conventions.
