Conclusion:
YY.MM-mm
YY= two digits for the year. i.e. 2012=12 MM= two digits for the month. i.e. November=11 mm=romanized small letter for the month it ends for security updates support. i.e. May=v
How do you suggest to handle the case where the duration of security updates changes past release?

Gerald, Thank you for your question. I am Not completely sure I understood your question but here is my answer to what I undestood. Hope is the right interpretation and a good answer for your question. Well, if we know before hand the duration of security updates we can stick to above formula YY.MM-mm. If we are going to make an extended security updates for a past release (i.e.11.1 Evergreen) and make a downloadable iso we should add something like this: YY.MM.xTmm . (i.e. 11.1.xTviii) Where "xT" would mean "extended support" and romanized lower case ( August=viii) would be the month the extended security updates will end. We would have all important information available at the sight.
