Okay here are some opinions for you.... I use Lite in my business. As such I have many machines in use and 3 different Lite versions being used at any given time, although eventually the goal is to have everyone on the latest version. Life gets in the way however and upgrading a workstation can take a day in the real world.
I beg you, please keep the numbering system. It helps track which machine is running which version. It is how the entire industry does things and there is a valid reason. It works. It easily identifies what version a machine is running, especially when multiple machines are involved, many running different versions.
One of my biggest problems with Lite and a possible reason why I may switch (although I am really happy with the OS itself...) is the huge hassle of upgrading from one version to another. A typical business workstation may use dozens of apps not on the "install additional software" list, and even that system is time consuming when upgrading. So please look at the big picture.
I love Linux Lite. It is awesome, but please keep the version numbers, it is the way almost every other distro and os works and btw version 2.2 is awesome.
If you could ease upgrades that would be great but please, please, please keep the numbers! In business we track and support things by asset tags, using names and sub names will just make things complicated and confusing.
