The code name is meant for googling. Canonical picks up the code names in
alphabetical order.
Therefore, the code names can be just equally good than numbers when
tracking the releases
(only after Zig Zag you have to start over, which is every 14 years).
I would
(1) Give a code name first, ours is at the moment 'THE FUTURE IS SOON'
(2) Give then (time based) number when it is released, like Rosegarden 10.01
"THE FUTURE IS SOON"
That kind of numbering scheme would make me happy. Then the only question is
to pick the code name.
Picking up a code name is much more fun than picking up, eh, a number.
BTW, I like the 'release early - release often' scheme.
