Let me add to the other voices disagreeing with this. The only potential "benefit" to this is that every two years or so you will find yourself in the middle of a partial distribution upgrade[1] with no preparation. It's much better to use the codename instead and subscribe to debian-announce (in addition to debian-security-announce, of course). When a new release is announced start preparing for the upgrade, you have one year to do so. [1] unless you're one of those still running dist-upgrade for every security update, just because `apt-get` doesn't install new packages by default. You might want to switch to `apt` instead.
