I started out with a year number, but that was before the was Level A. Too many new CPUs only fall under level A unfortunately because they do not even have AVX. This even applies to some new server CPU designs released this year. I'm concerned that putting a year into the level name suggests that everything main-stream released after that year supports that level, and that's not true. I think for manylinux, it's different, and it actually works out there. No one is building a new GNU/Linux distribution that is based on glibc 2.12 today, for example. But not so much for x86 CPUs. If you think my worry is unfounded, then a year-based approach sounds compelling. Thanks, Florian
