After further reflection...

The OTAs are applied to all devices 
The OTA number really reflects a minor release of the software
The OTAs have corresponding release notes and bug lists for the milestone
When a new device is released it is based on one of these OTA/minor release 
versions
We occasionally provide what we call a "hotfix" which is a between OTA critical 
fix. 
Build numbers (i.e. r24) are only meaningful on the proposed and devel 
channels, not stable

For the stable channel an OS version of the form "Ubuntu 15.04.6" would
very nicely reflect the  minor release of software running on any
device.

The details information could continue to provide build numbers and
underlying component levels which would be sufficient for both hotfixes
and proposed/devel channels.
