  The New Go should do.

  As a bonus though, when they hit "Go version 4" they can say "Go 4" and it sounds like "gopher". for those unaware: the mascot of Go is a gopher.

  Or they can label versions like sun, so that nobody will know for sure if they're using Go 2 or Go 1.2 or Go Enterprise Edition or Go Standard...

    Go 4.1.1 will now be rebranded 'Golaris 1.0'

      Golaris has a nice ring to it actually... Rolls of the tongue a bit - however sounds more like an ailment. "Oh, I got the golaris! better get an ointment for this"

        You mean an app ointment ?

    Or they could label versions like LaTeX, using a mathematical constant's decimal places. For root 2: Version 1, Version 1.4, Version 1.41, etc.
