This is about ISOs and other installation media on cdimage.ubuntu.com, not about the archive / release names. Regardless we will not use "unstable" or any other debian names, as that has a high potential of clash as both ubuntu & debian repositories are very alike, and the archive names is what essentially separates the two apart.
