I kind of like Ubuntu's system, where every release has both a name and a
number, and the number tells you the month and year of release. So right
now latest Ubuntu release is 14.10, named Utopic Unicorn (though I don't
like the double-word names, would have better to just call it "Utopic" or
"Unicorn").
