That was an oversight on my part, for which I apologise. The change had
been planned for a while and I was sure that it had been announced
(outside of being mentioned on #debian-release several times); I was
obviously mistaken.
To add to the confusion the Release Team refers to Wheezy as "7.0"
and
Jessie as "8.0". So 8.1 may or may not be "Jessie"? Who knows.
We're trying to stop doing so. Old habits die hard, as this thread
demonstrates. (To the extent that we still tend to refer to a release as
"r0", even though that scheme hasn't been used for years now.)

Adam
