It is communicated directly at archive opening, when we upload the
base-files containing the os-release saying that:

$ grep 24.10 /etc/os-release 
VERSION_ID="24.10"
VERSION="24.10 (Oracular Oriole)"

I believe it's fair to say at this point that even if we did
move a release, we'd not change the version anymore because
there will have been extensive communication over a multitude
of channels already using the version; third-party vendors
will have done testing against that specific version
string, etc.
