A litle bit of history: the reasone we HAVE codenames is to sort this out.
There wasn't a Debian 1.0 because someone put out a "1.0" when there was
just about 0.97.
Using testing and stable leads to a flag day when there's a major release.
If you tie to a codename, this can follow on for up to five years.
All the very best, as ever,
