There would be no real indication of "the severity of the update" short of a paragraph of text. Certainly, not something that would be user readable and fit in the file name. The "sequential" numbers tell the user where each download package fits in relation to the others. That is pretty much the primary reason for numbering things. Being able to identify a download package that coincides with the start of a problem, can be a major help. The user being able to select an earlier/lower numbered package to install which restores his device to pre-problem functioning, is also helpful. All without the average user knowing the function of those hash codes. People don't have to remember, KOReader includes a "Version" menu option that displays a message box with the version information.
While a little rare, there have been dates where more then one update package was released. The time on the clock (or the date in the file name) tells me absolutely nothing about which package is the newest.
