In a blog post from September 2015 titled New Git Repositories for Liferay Faces I mentioned that there would be a new version scheme corresponding to these new repositories.

I'm pleased to announce that Cody Hoag from the Liferay Documentation Team has published an update to the official Liferay documentation titled "Understanding the Liferay Faces Version Scheme" with a new section titled Liferay Faces Version Scheme for Releases After Liferay Faces GA6.

Please note that the new version scheme has not been finalized and that it may undergo changes prior to our support for Liferay Portal 7.0 CE.
