Sorry, it's probably my fault, and I should start a new thread for it. Just let me explain what I really meant, it wasn't actually about release names, but for some ideas for Devuan, it happens that they influence these names also, so I put it here. I thought one of possibilities could be the split of testing repo in two. One (that could be permanently called Ceres) will be a proper testing, working as a bleeding edge rolling release. The other (that would be called as the next release, working as a tested rolling release) would contain the last good working snapshot of Ceres. And testing would point to Ceres repo, and with the last snapshot before the release it could "switch" to the next release repo to keep the compability with the "debian way" of doing things. Why? I think just copying debian structure won't work as expected, because Devuan will add some additional layer of complexity and possibility of breaking things, and devuan's unstable won't work exactly like debian's, because some components from there will be missing. This will result in devuan's testing working more like debian's unstable, and that's why I think Devuan will need an additional layer of testing to match the expected quality of Debian. As for double release names, if there's an upgrade path for Jessie users, I think there should be also a path for the next debian releases, as long as it will be possible. It would mean resigning from minor planet release names, or introducing an "unofficial" release names, just to make an easy upgrade possible. I think that permanently messing great naming scheme just for those who want to upgrade is not worth it, and the better solution is to introduce an alternative release names just for them.
