Should we merge all codename tags with the version tags? Already there are tags like lucid and 10.04 which are identical.

6Ya. My personal opinion is to use the version numbers exclusively and fix all the 'codename' tags.– Nathan OsmanCommented Jul 29, 2010 at 4:48

Agreed. Codenames are development versions. Releases are designated by Version numbers.– txwikingerCommented Aug 11, 2010 at 19:25

Personally, I hope that over time the Tag Synonyms feature on the Info pages will take care of this for us and you'll be able to tag/search with lucid, 10.04 and/or lucid-lynx and these will be treated as equivalent.
It's early days for that feature, so I see where you're coming from.

Agreed. we should only merge codenames for consistency i.e lucid and lucid-lynx and keep codenames and version numbers. different people search for different tags. Commented Aug 21, 2010 at 20:01
On the parent site there are (at this moment) 37 questions tagged with 10.04 and 9 questions tagged with lucid. Of the 37 questions tagged with 10.04, 5 are also tagged lucid and 1 is also tagged lucid-lynx.
It looks like thus far 10.04 is the popular choice and I see also the top voted answer to this related question.
I think it would make sense for the other two to be suggested as synonyms for 10.04. However, that decision is in the hands of the +1000 users (currently 7) or the moderators (I think).
I think so, although for readability I think that we should give preference to the codename (excluding the animal). For example:
- lucid <= 10.04
- lucid <= lucid-lynx
Etc.

2The result of meta.ubuntu.stackexchange.com/questions/44/… seems to suggest doing it the other way around.– andolCommented Jul 29, 2010 at 13:09

The code names are confusing. It's hard to tell if they refer to the current release or not.– ErigamiCommented Aug 13, 2010 at 16:14
