IIRC, the discussion was around whether or not a release name was required in order to produce a release. IMO, the release name is optional given that the version number is really the unique identifier of a release. But that doesn't mean that the release name is dead code. Apparently people still like associating a release name with a package, which is OK. That just means that part of the procedure before actually tagging a testing release is to assign a release name which could happen right up to the last minute before tagging. I think Bernard probably has that covered.
