No, it really matters. Ubuntu people know that the numbers used for
versions are chosen based on date of release, but that's not in any way
a convention. For the rest of the world, the higher the version number,
the newer the release.
10.4 > 10.1 > 10.04 You see? If you refer to 10.04 as 10.4, you are
implying it's a newer release than 10.10
