Ubuntu does their numbering job well.
In my experience noone intuitively understands the Ubuntu versioning
scheme -
it always needs to be explained.
But at least there _is_ a reasonably good explanation for it :-)
Well, nobody says openSUSE should follow their numbering guidelines ;)
. Whether they prefer year written as two digits or not, it's their
choice.
I'd personally vote for eg. 2010.1/2010.2, where the year represents
year
of the release and number after the point represents number of release
that year.
So - 2010.1 would be first release in 2010, 2010.2 would be second,
2011.1
would be first in 2011 etc.
Try to say "KDE 4.4.4 won't be ready for 2010.1, but it's in 2011.1"
three
times quickly.
Then it's your turn to work out another solution ;) .
After criticizing my invention, Ubuntu's way seems pretty resonable.
Year.month.
What exactly is wrong with the current system
IS this yet another change for the sake of change or does someone have a
 rock solid reason for changing what seems to work very well for Opensuse 
 note  We are NOT Ubuntu  we are NOT Fedora   we are NOT Debian .
My vote is we stay exactly as we are now and don't wreak a system that
 works just because someone fancies mucking things up for something to do /
 get their name mentioned ..
+1, I still don't see what's wrong with the current scheme nor real benefits 
from a new scheme.

There is a saying   don't fix what ain't broken   or dow yow fix what ay
