People will start to rely on names for sorting again. Regardless if it's the right thing technically people are people and will use what tools they have available.
We should use numeric values for sorting. (And Ubuntu now does the same thing on the technical side.)From a technical point of view there is no need for codenames at all. But being human I prefer names over numbers, even if it's just for aesthetic reason - "buster" is just more comfortable than "debian10". However, above all is the rule "do not confuse". Starting twoconsecutive releases with the same letter does. Adding a third one makesit worse.
I'm fine with that. Kind regards Philipp Kern
