It's easy to know the upgrade path: dapper -> edgy -> feisty -> gutsy -> hardy -> intrepid -> j____ It wasn't alphabetical from the start: The earlier releases were warty (warthog), hoary (hedgehog) and breezy (badger). With olpc-update, it's not critical to update from version x to version x+1 - we can skip versions as we don't depend on a particular package state. (e.g. You can upgrade from 650 to joyride without having to upgrade to 703 first...) In the future that could become significant though if we have system changes affecting datastore format changes or something which might make support easier if upgrading from a known version.
