They all have numbers from Stable on.  Use the numbers if you prefer.  When 
you say 6, people (meaning I, of course) manage to work out what you mean. 

But it doesn't actually tell me what support it is receiving not when that 
support will stop.  Old Stable does normally tell me that, but not in this 
case.  In this case, to get the full information I need the name: Squeeze 
LTS.  But that is what you are complaing about,isn't it!  The earlier ones 
don't have numbers - or in the case of Sid and Experimental, code names that 
change.

I tell you what.  For a Windows style system of numbering, there is always 
Windows. ;-)
