Description

Nextcloud Hub = Nextcloud Major Version - 21.
I listened to the Hub reasoning, cannot find the exact link, where it was described to change because no one wants Nextcloud 3000.

Keep in mind, Nextcloud 3000 will also be Nextcloud Hub 2979

I humbly request considering changing the naming to reflect a single number, based on the current date as Year:Month. Thank you for considering!

Nextcloud 24.09
Nextcloud Hub 24.09
Point release would look like Nextcloud Hub 24.09.1
Longer number scheme of 2024.09 would work forever.

Thank you so much for any consideration, and great work on the project! Forum discussion
