Just wondering. I was sure this one was going to be Orleans followed by Provincetown. Now it's back to numbers.

I liked the naming too, but I guess maybe mom and dad got home and told the kids to knock it off. :)

Makes it easier to associate an update with a month. I presume it will make things easier for support, too. I though the town names were kinda cool too, but sometimes function over form > form over function

I totally miss the names. 
 
Here's an idea... names for those who want them, and numbers for those who don't. (Just kidding, or not...)

Numbers are easier (for me).

Maybe they could have had both - the March one could have been called "Orleans - 2016.03.71" for example.  Have the best of both worlds....  I miss trying the guess the next town name...

For managing bug tracking, features and support, version numbering makes a lot more sense. It's just that I mourn a little when another few grams of humanity are squeegied out of the software industry.
 
Ah well. Orleans is dead, long live 2016.03!

I too kind of felt the updates had a bit more 'personality' when they had names. Numbers might be clearer for technical reasons, but they all start to look the same and fade into noise for me pretty quickly. Oh well. It doesn't actually impact my workflow all that much in the grand scheme of things...

Yes, someone is still not allowed to watch television for 17 more days.
