I agree with that! Codenames are also more handy for programmers that for end users. 
And codenames are also easier in general conversations. 
It's easier to refer to codenames that to version numbers in real life. Why did you 
think that Microsoft called Windows 'XP' and not Windows 6.0?? Why do we use domain 
names and not IP's. Simple.. Names are much easier to remember than numbers.
But on the otherhand, codenames are mostly only used by commercial companies. There 
are only a few *nix projects that have codenames.

But he, that only my view on the world  ;-)
