I rolled this change back.
To illustrate why exact dates are noise as Alexey mentions, see

And to answer Nick's question:
"When sprints cross months, as most do, which month should be selected?
The start month? the end month? or the one that makes up the largest
percentage in the sprint?"
The start month. That is how it was done from the beginning.

Nick,
I also think that the new long names are too "noise". Too many
numbers. It's hard to read. Month is enough IMO even if we have two
sprints for the same month.
I understand that we all can have different preferences. And what is
hard to read for us may provide additional useful information for you
or someone else.
This is why it's very important to discuss such changes first and got
to agreement *before* changing it.
Can you just revert it for now then we can discuss it later?
