The current specification is at
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#settings>. I agree that it
should be changed to not include codenames. However, we should take care
not to cause regressions we don't understand.
The screenshot at <http://www.danielandrade.net/2007/11/10/10-things-to-
do-just-after-installing-ubuntu-710/> shows that in Ubuntu 7.10,
codenames were not shown. So can anyone identify why they were
introduced, or at least when?

Title:
Software Sources shows codenames not version numbers
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In the updates tab software-properties shows codenames such as
'oneiric-updates' and 'oneiric-proposed'. As I understand it we
shouldn't really show the codename to the user. It also seems somewhat
redundant, it's not like that screen would ever have anything other
than $current_release-* in it. I can see why the 3rd party sources
might display codenames as users may (for whatever reason) want to add
the source for an older (or newer) release on a 3rd party site to get
an app.
See screenshot.
