Not cute, descriptive. We can pick colors for all I care. Or to be more Drupal-centric, we can pick Dutch words and misspell them. Just so we have some way to refer to versions that are currently in progress that is still meaningful when reading the message 6 months later.
Not descriptive as much as arbitrary. It's a human-readable label to refer to something. It probably shouldn't be descriptive of the version it's referencing, as that leads to confusion. Cat names, river names, city names, birds, animals that no one has ever heard of (what the hell is an eft and what's edgy about it?), etc. are all perfectly good naming schemes because they don't try to describe, just label. We describe based on that label. :-) -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
