Are programs supposed to compare release names to determine which release they're looking at? All comparisons I've seen have used the number, not the name. There have been discussions about dropping release names. The argument for that seemed to be that the name has no function and is mostly a waste of time. If the name were part of the code, then dropping it would have required code changes left and right. As I understand it Fedora has release names because people like to see them displayed in various places. That means they are user-visible content. Björn Persson
