Sorry, it's probably my fault, and I should start a new thread for it.
Just let me explain what I really meant, it wasn't actually about
release names, but for some ideas for Devuan, it happens that they
influence these names also, so I put it here. I thought one of
possibilities could be the split of testing repo in two. One (that
could be permanently called Ceres) will be a proper testing, working
as a bleeding edge rolling release. The other (that would be called as
the next release, working as a tested rolling release) would contain
the last good working snapshot of Ceres. And testing would point to
Ceres repo, and with the last snapshot before the release it could
"switch" to the next release repo to keep the compability with the
"debian way" of doing things. Why? I think just copying debian
structure won't work as expected, because Devuan will add some
additional layer of complexity and possibility of breaking things, and
devuan's unstable won't work exactly like debian's, because some
components from there will be missing. This will result in devuan's
testing working more like debian's unstable, and that's why I think
Devuan will need an additional layer of testing to match the expected
quality of Debian.
As for double release names, if there's an upgrade path for Jessie
users, I think there should be also a path for the next debian
releases, as long as it will be possible. It would mean resigning from
minor planet release names, or introducing an "unofficial" release
names, just to make an easy upgrade possible. I think that permanently
messing great naming scheme just for those who want to upgrade is not
worth it, and the better solution is to introduce an alternative
release names just for them.
