Interesting, that isn't my experience. Even customers say, "I am running
Precise or Trusty" and then I have to remember which version number that
is. Also, considering Ubuntu is by far the largest used Linux distro, I
am not sure how much of that is happening in practice.
I should note that I am not suggesting we forgo version names but adding
something that is fun could be useful... Something to think about.
Sincerely,
