I'm similar but just prefix like

    /v2014

I assume I won't make multiple versions in a year. I have a current system with /v2014, /v2016 and /v2017

I like to smash dates into all my version strings

Yes, human readable dates are very good at conveying a sense of obsolescence.

Mine are a bit more granular: /vyymm, e.g. /v1503, /v1610, /v1706. This should work well for this century ;-)
