The main issue I can see are alternative distros for one platform. So
your installers are labeled "18.1-1" and so are Cygwin's and MSYS's
etc. Hasn't Ubuntu run into this issue vs. Debian, so that (at least
some) they are versioned something like 18.1-ubuntu1"?

I think a lot of people, even those who are currently using other
platforms, are familiar with the Debian conventions. They've been
worked out carefully over more than a decade.
