Re: Ubuntu was right... sort of.

is there really any point in using anything other than say 2022.02.17 as a version number?

While I (mostly) wholeheartedly agree with you, that does preclude continuous integration builds from being released more often than once a day. Some development teams (that I've heard of) push releases live every few hours. So a revision number in addition to the date would be necessary for those: 2022.02.18.01
