Excuse me what?!  "LEDE r5217-098afa1e1b"?

Why does that look like a "release 5217" and a SHA prefix "098afa1e1b"?

So what - does LEDE have two completely different versioning systems?  Is LEDE switching over to the openwrt versioning system?  From where comes the "r5217"?  Is that "r5217" a strictly reproducible LEDE version?

Somebody, please clue me in here.
