Those names are for specific releases, they also had more formal names
or qualifiers over their lifetime to indicate their stability. Sid was
at one point 'experimental', 'test', 'stable' (or whatever they use
over there). The iso's have themed names, however they also are refered
to as devel, test, and stable over their lifetime.

For what its worth, I think Eric wasn't actually serious in his proposed
names, and was using them as an example of how silly giving themed names
to things would be...
