I suggest we use the following names: 2009.01-alpha 2009.01-beta 2009.01-1 (official release) (2009.01-2, 2009.01-3 etc subsequent official releases, if required)
I think our isos/img's should have such versions in there filenames, instead of using 2009.01 for alpha + beta + official releases. This is useful for: 1) avoiding confusion with iso's. Users are not aware which versions the isos are hosted on dev spaces such as http://dev.archlinux.org/~aaron/archiso/. Hell, even for relengs/devs it can be confusing 2) 1:1 to mapping to version numbers on flyspray. I added some versions on flyspray (2009.01-{alpha,beta,1} etc). imo we need to update iso names as such, so bugs can be reported on the correct versions etc, otherwise it will be mess.
This implies a change in archiso. is that okay?
PS: i also made a version 2009.04-alpha where we can attach some non-critical tickets to.
When the devs first announced that they'd be releasing new ISOs according to new kernel versions I wondered why they didn't base the iso version after the kernel version too.
