Plus we got a good anchor to link our addon versioning : ESO Updates
So for me, 0.1, 0.2, 0.10.1.a-2-r12 -> Justice-r1, Justice -r2, Justice-r3, ImperialCity-r1, etc.
It's also a great help to me because not all my addons got same original versioning.

The problem is text labels don't really help you for versioning.
If you really wanted it tied to ESO versions, you could do something like 1.6r1, 1.6r2, 1.6r3
As far as reminding people to update, just showing the API is out of date doesn't help. Minion or site favorites here do that much better and let you update it directly too. I'd also argue most people by now expect addon updates around ESO major versions, so a text reminder doesn't really add anything.
Besides, addons putting startup messages in chat is annoying. When only 1-2 do it, their messages can be seen fine. If you have 10, 20, 30+ addons all putting startup messages to chat you won't see anything.
