debian version conventions

["Fethi A. Okyar" <afo@or219a.e1.iit.edu>]

Hello all,

want to bring the insane naming convention into argument here
for one second. 

This remains to be a mystery for me, I don't know hw I ended up
confusing all the names, slink potato, hamm, beef, etc.. Now I
go down to the source (i.e. ftp.debian.org) and try to figure out
which kernel version is used in which name by looking at base 
packages. 

Can somebody clear this out by pointing the stable, unstable and
old kernel versions, sorry for valuable cputimes I am consuming,
Is there any plan on keeping this naming convention??
