I'm not thrilled with the change. The generational identifier makes a model much easier to identify.

That is a daft, murky system!
It is already difficult enough to follow the X1 Carbon, with many varieties of how to describe its generation.
Those 'generations' are a horrible mish-mash of possibilities and causes for errors/mistakes!
Apparently Lenovo's stupidity seems to have no end!
[no indication at all], G1, 1G, Gen1, 1stGen, 1st Gen, First Gen, 14", i5, i7, E, Extreme.... to name but a few varieties as already seen on eBay.
And we all know how 'well-informed' and accurate those sellers are!

Lenovo ThinkPads have a very long history. Even the naming scheme of the business laptop line has a history, as it is more than 10 years old in its current iteration. Its roots are even older and date back to the IBM ThinkPad days. Now, it has apparently run its course, as the ThinkPad L13 does not adhere to the known naming scheme – and it seems like its not going to be the only upcoming Lenovo ThinkPad model.
