Again, it is not about not being different, it is about what users are usedto 
and how they get confused least. I am pushing for a change because I had a 
hard time with 3 websites and 5 "current" versions when I first noticed 
KiCad.

But let me suggest a different solution: IMHO, it would be sufficient to at 
least let the user know

- what versioning scheme is used (i.e. the date scheme)
- where to download the current stable release and/or dev snapshots

This info should go in prominent places, i.e. the front page AND the FAQ...
