Okay, so this definitely feels like bad practice to not change the version number or URL, even in something trivial like example texts here. But what real-world significance does this have?
It almost seems equivalent to just changing a variable name based on how it's being used, which -- to be clear -- should come with a version bump, but I can't imagine this having any meaningful impact anywhere.
None - I don't know of anyone that parses release names. Versions, yes, absolutely, but silly version release names?
I came into the comments to see what other reason there was, but it seems it's a non-story.
