Most users could tell you by name either ... and they certainly
wouldn't be able to tell you which was a newer version by the silly
name. Using numbers is the ONLY way that  makes any remote sense, which
is why anyone with any sense still includes the numbers. It's even
sillier since Aple uses number for iOS and idiotic meaningless names
for Mac OS X.   :-\
