This comes out of me complaining to android team that they titled everything
that didn't use mainline kernel as "LEB", no matter how well that worked, no
matter what level of hardware enablement those builds came with, no matter
if those builds are booting to UI or not.

To avoid that we said that the technical/functional build name shouldn't
include the term leb at all, but rather mark those builds as non-mainline in
a different way. The term LEB would then become a badge (think about
certification) that gets awarded by release team for builds _after_ they
have gone through validation/testing and have been officially confirmed to
meet LEB requirements.

That said, I don't like the name "Stage" much either. Idea: How about we
mark the ones that are not "stage" as "mainline" and drop the "stage" marker
from the other build names?
