A good reason to use arbitrary code names before assigning a more helpful name upon release of something deemed to now be generally usable, beyond developers with caveats.




I like this approach. Use a cute, fun, memorable name internally for stuff getting off the ground. Once it becomes user facing, the internal name becomes a fun note on Wikipedia and the world sees the actual calculated name.
