Thanks!

I'll add my view that numbering releases is the most sensible. Names can be cute, but are otherwise meaningless. Ubuntu uses release names, but theirs advance in alphabetical order, and so retain a sense of sequence.
How about having a way to display the currently-installed Linux Lite version number? It's not displayed anywhere that I can find. I had to attempt an upgrade to get the system to reveal that I was running v2.8. The very friendly Welcome page would be a great place to identify the version number. Put it right in the title, after "Linux Lite".

The Lite Control Center should display the version of LL along with the installed kernel...
From terminal.. I believe the correct command/path is..
There are a few other command that will yield kernel, ubuntu base etc... but for LL try the above..
Also GRUB shows LL version on boot too
I'm sure there maybe other menu items that will populate - but those are off the top of my head and I'm not in front of my LL system..
LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics
LL4.8 64 bit HP 6005- AMD Phenom II X2 - 8GB - AMD/ATI RS880 (HD4200)
LL3.8 32 bit Dell Inspiron Mini - Atom N270 1.6Ghz - 1GB - Intel Mobile 945GSE Express -- Shelved
BACK LL5.8 64 bit Dell Optiplex 160 (Thin) - Atom 230 1.6Ghz - 4GB-SiS 771/671 PCIE VGA - Print Server
Running Linux Lite since LL2.2

Stick with existing number scheme, it is universally understood. I'm not sure all nationalities are familiar with roman numerals. Using colours is interesting if colours were also used alphabetically otherwise we need a conversion chart to remind us which colour is .2 etc.
