There has been a push semi-recently to get away from the animals names
in any "official" document, official web site, press release, etc, and
use instead the official version name.

Sinre there has been some criticism in some external reviews about the
"silly names",I think that move is the internal response to these
public complains about Ubuntu.

Personally I don't care how we name a Ubuntu version as long as it
works nicely.  But for the long-run nusing version number instead of
animal names is probably a good move for to be relased docs.
