Not sure if it's been mentioned before in this discussion, but Ubuntu (and other projects) do this too.

for instance:

5.10 - Breezy Badger 6.06 - Dapper Drake [ Came out in June ] 6.10 - Edgy Eft [ Due in October ]

And Ubuntu also took advantage of changing the version number of Dapper, when they needed to postpone the release (they use year.month based version numbers). This is how they profited from having names instead of numbers. Goba
