I agree with this, so lets keep to the topic:

The suggestion was to add something to the Zope 3 naming, like:
"Zugar" or "Zebra". The suggested benefit was to add this name so that
people would understand that there was a significant difference
between Zope 3 releases and Zope 2 releases. That "Zope 2.9" and "Zope
something Zugar" was very dofferent beasts.

And what I said was: Adding release specific names do not have that effect.

I hope that cleared up what was discussioned.

Not if that name changes with every release, becuase then people will
see it as a release code name, because that's what it will be.
