Thats a second vote from me. I think we put too much on the 'code name' 
and we end up getting this confusion. My nice copy of Ubuntu 6.06 from 
Canonical does not have the words 'dapper' or 'drake' anywhere on it. If 
people use the Dapper or Edgy bit it should always have the version 
number alongside.

Also of note and quite commonly used by mistake is referring to Ubuntu 
as 'Ubuntu Linux'. It is just plain 'Ubuntu', not 'Ubuntu Linux' or 
'Ubuntu GNU/Linux'.

</end pickiness>
