I am beginning to think that Microsoft's bad verison naming is entirely on-purpose. Windows has had terrible naming since NT -- back and forth between names/numbers/years (or nonsense like "Anniversary Update" or "R2"), have a completely different scheme for Server vs Desktop, and if you look at the corresponding kernel versions of these releases[0], the major/minor bump in versions seems completely arbitrary. .NET is even worse. Framework vs CLR is a mess [1]. Core started over at 1.0. .NET Standard brings some consistency to it all, but also introduces another versioning scheme with overlapping numbers that mean different things[2]. But even other divisions do this: Xbox -> Xbox 360 -> Xbox One.
