I think most people not familiar with this naming convention will
get confused.
E.G: a person who just read about DragonFly and wants to try it out.
Goes to one of the mirrors, and is not sure which iso to download,
and downloads the wrong one, say EXPERIMENTAL.
Boots it and horrible things start to happen (say, gets a panic
while booting). Now, this person, might stay away from DragonFly,
and spread his unpleasant experience along the community he came
from.
So IMO its better to keep the naming as simple as possible.
Just my 2 cents.
