Version Names

how about dropping the version numbering scheme and adopt an Android like naming convention for versions?

Right now I am using Ignition Bobby. I hear Version Travis has some outstanding features, but Version Vannessa will knock your socks off!

Why would would want to trade a logical naming convention for one that’s not?
How do you know if a version is a major or only a minor upgrade?

For the record, I’m indifferent.

Typically the versions numbers go (major).(minor).(revision). Android uses an alphabetized code word, using deserts, for each version (minor, using my notation). From Wikipedia:

v2.0/2.1 (Eclair)
v2.0
v2.0.1
v2.1
v2.2.x (Froyo)
v2.2
v2.2.1
v2.2.2
v2.2.3
v2.3.x (Gingerbread)
v2.3
v2.3.3
v2.3.4
v2.3.5
v2.3.6
v2.3.7
v3.x (Honeycomb)
v3.0
v3.1
v3.2
v3.2.1
v3.2.2
v3.2.4
v3.2.6
v4.x (Ice Cream Sandwich)
v4.0.1
v4.0.2
v4.0.3
