Hello everybody, Generally, I favor code names. As mflorea said, a distinct code name for each release would be quite too much.
Just because I enjoy the sound of this, I would like to hear of a different (and simpler) naming convention, e.g. having a base release code name and some sort of "suffix" for each major one. On another note, I do approve of playfulness, but in a nerdish kind of way :) This is my kindof +1, as long as we further discuss this and reach a conclusion that satisfies everyone.
