"Mandriva style variation" or "deterministic old school": YY.counter (2 digit year, counter starts at 0)
The next release could be either 11.5 to continue with current counter or just like magazines do it and go for YY+1 (ie 12.0) already near the end of the year. Advantage: 1:1 compatible with current rpm macros
Please make one concrete proposal - or two - following my example above.
Your list lacks the information how to map the "marketing version" to %suse_version.
I see for all of them a trivial way to do it, the exception is the seasons but even there we can say Spring = 1,etc and then have Spring 2011 = 201110. Right now 11.4 has suseversion 1140, for the Mandriva style, a 2011.1 release could be 201110, for the octal one, 012 would be 1200.
