I'm getting a bit of pushback to my previously announced plans to
use <a moz-do-not-send="true"

and <a moz-do-not-send="true"

as branding for Thunderbird releases 38 and 45. I'm curious - do I
have any support for this, or do you think it's a bad idea? I
would appreciate feedback, just reply with your attitude on a
scale of 1-5 with 1 being "I hate it" and 5 being "I love it"
(this is for the branding names, not for the graphics below).<br>

I am all for it. Basically I think a named versions resonate with
people in a way numbers do not. It also provides a method to move
the mainstream away from the truly disjointed numeric versioning
system. Although, from a support perspective Avocet release 1 and
Avocet release2 ie 38.1 and 38.2 will need to be obvious. People
are used to Service pack updates, so they will not baulk at have
release number I do not think. Really the only place the true
version numbering should appear is in the Help| about information
which includes Geko versions<br>
