Cheers,

This was intentional, since my understanding was that stable,
stable-security, or stable-proposed-updates was supposed to be used
instead and such distributions won't work properly.  If they will, we can
certainly change that.

I prefer to use the codenames since they don't suddenly change meanings
around release time.  And they get mapped to the right thing by dak in
the end, anyway.
