*** I don't understand why you bring "non-commercial software" to the
conversation. First because I can't see why names would be reserved to
commercial software, and second because I don't understand how Devuan is
commercial or non-commercial: it is free software, so it can be
commercialized, by definition.

*** In Debian, the release name matches the major version: Jessie is 7,
so 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, etc. will (may) all be Jessie. It's convenient, but
not necessary.
