We do use numbers to version our software. OpenStack is made of a lot of
components and those need to be versioned independently.

We use names for our *development cycles*. Rather than say "the Q2-Q3
2015 cycle" we say "Liberty".

Because there is no such thing as a version of "OpenStack". Each
component in OpenStack has its own version mapping to the end of the
development cycle.
