I agree that a vote is probably the best solution.  Still, if this gets 
decided outside of a formal vote - I'd like to see something along the 
lines of Mandriva or Ubuntu.  

That is to say, a numbering system that conveys meaningful information!

One of the things that endears me to openSUSE is that it is typically run 
in a purposeful, pragmatic fashion.  Releases tend to feature only 
calculated 'risk' - FF 4 beta? Yes.  Systemd? Technical Preview.

I hope that our version numbering is also changed to something purposeful 
and pragmatic.  Of the various proposals, a date-based system best fulfills 
this goal.  Similarly, if we do adopt a date-based system - please avoid 
seasons for the same reason.  "Spring 2011" is ~April 2011 in Germany - but 
~September 2011 in South Africa.
