23.08 (and 24.02) I guess could be the next versions then.

Changing version naming schemes always creates extra work (I suspect
not only for developers, but also for marketing & documentation), but
perhaps it's indeed time to make the move?

I'm not aware the required technical tweaks are prohibitive (of course
we need to listen to feedback from in particular downstream Linux
packagers), and it would make our life a lot easier in the future, for
e.g. switching to a rolling release model.

Cheers,
