That is probably the single best argument I've seen for code naming releases before they are released -- so we can refer to them easily and accurately in documentation of all kinds (project pages, CVS comments, postings, etc.).
It's been named 5.0 for a while and is far from released. I'm not a dev, so maybe I'm off base here, but I don't see a big need to have a definite name before the code freeze...

The first I heard of the next version after 4.7 being called 5.0 was when Dries marked it as such at the freeze. That was 18 days ago. He may have discussed it with others before that, but it wasn't a big to-do on the list like 4.7 was. Until this month it's been "yeah, that next version". I'm all for a cute code name scheme, but I said my piece on that back in March. :-) -- 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
