Let us not go through that WHOLE ROUND of stuff again. Go back in the
archives and search your suggestion. You shall see a I was going from
Woody to Sarge to Etch to Sid (plus experimental on a few of those
upgrade) using the release "name" and the
stable/testing/unstable/experimental monikers as well. 

Yes, you could do that. But I don't want to get the ire of a few other
people up again, as I'd have to go back to working on something that has
already taken 40+ hours of my time to do a proper timeline and about
90-Bamillion upgrades, all in Virtual Machines.
