I also wish that when people submit what is clearly a "new version of software/thing X" they would submit a title like:
"Salami 2.0 released, this popular meat product now has substantially more zest."
Instead people just submit:
"Salami 2.0"
That's no better than Freshmeat.

Obviously there are upsides and downsides to this, but IMO it significantly cuts down on clickbaity titles at the expense of some readability when the site being linked to chooses a less-than-descriptive title.
