I guess I don't mind sounding encylopedically nerdy when I later tell 
someone, speaking from memory, "Ah yes, Places support was added in 
*version five dot one dot two*," with a precision cadence for each part 
of the version number.  It beats having to say goofy Ubuntuesque version 
names like "Rambunctious Rabbit":  "Affirmative, sir.  Staging servers 
have been validated with Racket version Randy Rottweiler, and are ready 
for production deployment."
