It's confusing because the models are released one at a time rather than as a family.

Let's say I have some task that Luna 6.1 cannot do, but Terra 6.1 can. So I build my product around that. In a month when Luna 6.2 is released, then I have to figure out whether it's worth to evaluate and swap or just wait for Terra 6.2.

Yes, but is that really “confusing”? The way they could solve your dilemma would be to wait to release Luna 6.2 until Terra 6.2 is ready, which just means you’d have fewer options and you’d have to wait. Which you’re free to do now!

Yes, doing releases this way means that it is confusing to compare model capabilities without going to enormous effort to run my own tests to determine something that should be knowable at a glance.

Waiting is the way to solve this. And despite the outcome being the same, making me feel like I'm being forced to choose to wait is a worse consumer experience.
