Hi,
I replied in the patch, but I also would like to express my opinion in this thread.

Release names can be problematic as described in this proposal.
https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/839897

However, I still think that the release name is important for the community.
It’s part of the OpenStack culture! Is something that we have since the release “A” for “Austin”.
I never saw anyone mentioning that they are still running Nova with the release “2011.3” and need to upgrade.
Instead the community mentions the release name, “Diablo” (for example...)

Having said that, I also believe it’s important to have a clear release identification schema without
the ambiguity of the alphabet iteration.

In my opinion both should coexist.

Ok, sorry... :/

The same way, you need to remember that 202x.1 is tick, and 202x.2 is
tock. Oh, or is it the other way around?!? I actually think it is, with
current plan...
