I decided to use calendar versioning for our companies internal ERP system since it makes it explicit to end users when a new release has been rolled out (2018-06-06.1 is more human than #9b867341 or 27.1.321.1).
No reason other than that.
I also change the background image of the login page on 'major' releases where significant new features are added as a subtle visual cue that users should go check out the change log.
It's often the little touches that have a disproportionate impact on user engagement.
