Number it however... personally I'd like to see some (better) relation maintained between the openSUSE version numbers and the SLE version numbers - so maybe better coordination with the SLE PMs would be in order.
Yes, openSUSE is the base for SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) but forcing a naming scheme would mean that we really have to coordinate early when to release the next SLE. Let's say you want to have 12.1 as base for SLE 12 - then you would need to know this at the time you decide whether it's 11.x or 12.0 - so basically 16 months before the release of 12.1 - and that's a long time. Also, openSUSE and SLE are independend, each has its own schedule. I talked with some of the Product Managers (PMs) and they do not see a need to couple the version numbers.
Internally, I'd like to just make the codenames more obvious. How many people know the current release (officially 11.4) is codenamed 'Celadon' ?
Yes - that's a separate issue.
The long history of using green shades/objects is neutral and unique. Lets stick with what works.
