Comment 6 for bug 887079

The current specification is at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#settings>. I agree that it should be changed to not include codenames. However, we should take care not to cause regressions we don't understand.

The screenshot at <http://www.danielandrade.net/2007/11/10/10-things-to-do-just-after-installing-ubuntu-710/> shows that in Ubuntu 7.10, codenames were not shown. So can anyone identify why they were introduced, or at least when?
