That's what I feared. I do not like the -v0/-v1 very much because this is 
somewhat "reserved" by hardware revisions as TP-Link uses them, and will have 
everyone looking for a printed version on the device. So, I'd actually prefer 
-ar7240/-ar7241 suffixes (which will also clearly state what's the difference) 
unless we can find some identifier from Ubiquiti.

What happens if you flash the "wrong" image? Do you see any chance to have one 
of the images as "default" without suffix or would this make things worse? 

Best
