Such version naming does not reduce the global quality and quantity of our doc, even if it could of course be improved.

Not sure people will rather know which version number is current one but I agree that version numbering is easier to follow history of features.... Doc could refer to both.
When I install Ubuntu, I usually remember more easilly its version number than its name

If documentation is important I don't think it is related to the distro choice. I don't think so many people have read the Ubuntu or Mac OS one.
Doc is often used as helpers when somethIng is wrong and Debian offers lots of thing in its wiki for this plus internet contributions of course

Doc is a work that anyone can contribute to, so I think you are welcome to help us improve it:-)
