To be honest, this is a non problem. As has been said a millions times
before, we will never make everyone happy. If we start inflating our
numbers, they numbers start to mean less.

Consider that Oracle, is only at 11.

Microsoft uses years to represent their product.

Informix doesn't appear to use any numbers anymore opting for Ultimate
Warehouse Edition and "Choice" edition

We aren't a marketing team. Best we can do is educate and let those who
don't bother to be educated, stay ignorant.
