Another popular way is date based numbering. So the kernel just released could have been 2026.02, the next prolly 2026.05, the last 2025.11. It doesn't really matter.
Yes eclipse IDE does that and so do I for my own software releases. At some point although, version numbers were more indicative of major structural changes but not so much anymore if you look at Google chrome or Firefox release number for example.
