Hi, folks!
why don't we put "Arch Linux 2009.01" on /etc/arch-release and /etc/issue, and update it only when the filesystem is updated or when a new ISO is released?
Because we used to do this and people start taking version numbers seriously. You get bug reports that say "I'm running ArchLinux 2008.10" or something insanely stupid. I can't stress how much I _do not_ want to get back to that.
That's the sole reason I didn't want to put a version on the ISO really, because people would say things like "I installed 2008.06, do I need to reinstall?"
LOL that's sad, but I can totally see that happening! Oy but I do hate code names too...
