A valid point. But changing code name reduces the risk of absentmindedly upgrading and then thinking oops. Particularly in the case of the OP, who expected changing Jessie to testing now, to have some impact and be a valid test of the result of tracking testing. Your approach also involves keeping a good track of the date. I have no doubt you do. But judging by how often we have been asked the projected date for Jessie's release, that does not apply to everyone. You come into the category of those who know what they're doing and can, if necessary, sort out messes. Not all do.
