As soon as we moved to time based releases, it seems like everyone,
including myself, starting referring to the releases by their release
date..  e.g. the "2013 Fall Release".  I was mildly against it at first,
but including the date in the name in some form frankly seems inevitable.
 It's just easier to remember.

If we decide to change, I would also vote for the Ubuntu-style naming
scheme Thomas describes.  (IIRC, Jason S. was also a proponent of this
scheme).

As an example, the next release would be the 13.03.0 release.
