Just in case adoption of release names is a real possibility:
+1 to numbers -1 to names
It would be a horrible regression to use names instead of release numbers. Sure they're cute and quirky, but we're developing software here, not trying to entertain users.
Richard. The problem is that numbers once chosen cannot change. If you say the next release is 4.8 and change your mind because a lot more features made it since then, then you will impact a lot of places for that (documentation, issues, ...etc.) The purpose of the name is not to be cute or quirky, but rather totally meaningless and does not imply anything. Just a unique label from a large namespace. If anything, I am against any entertainment value in code names.
