Wasn't one of the concerns (I think by Alex) that Kubuntu devs are always
talking "raring" or "saucy" and we never know which version it is; so that
we should always talk the version numbers instead (and even not knowing the
fish name beforehand)? If people agreed on always using the date version
when talking about a release, using random names would not be a problem I
think.

However using an alphabetical order seems just more practical because
people will keep using fish names when communicating, so it would at least
make our (as in developers) lives easier. *shrug*
