I don't think we need to necessarily decide on a release name/schema  
for later. We also haven't decided yet on whether to do 2.0.1 or 2.1,  
etc.

But given that we have a little bit of leeway, I think it does allow  
us to say later "ok, we've used 10 release names so far, we have a  
large point release 2.X coming up, lets come up with a new scheme so  
we aren't stuck mid-point-cycle."
