For a people who are not familiar with disto year/month model is more usefull, 
cause its easier to understand how recent is this version, rather then 
"version 4" that does not talks. If you haven't heard about Alt Linux than 
what can you say about Alt 5? How much time passed since it was released?

In other words, IMHO Mageia 2011.2 is more user-friendly type of name.
