A discussion is in progress about what Canonical should use in term of
pattern naming.

For now debian policy uses 'friendly' which the Ubuntu policy inherit.

Examples:
legacy - 'sosreport-tux.123456-20171224185433.tar.xz'
friendly - 'sosreport-tux-mylabel-123456-2017-12-24-ezcfcop.tar.xz'

The concerns is about 'friendly' mode not providing the timestamp as
oppose to its predecessor the 'legacy' mode.

https://github.com/sosreport/sos/blob/master/sos/policies/__init__.py#L534-L565

Potential options:

a) Add time in current friendly format
- It's a trivial change, but this will cause additional length for sosreport 
archive name.

b) Do a 'UBUNTU SAUCE' in the sosreport Ubuntu packages by enforcing the 
'legacy' mode in Ubuntu policy for now.
- The 'legacy' mode is still available and working.

c) Leave it as is and drop the idea of timestamp
