Well, the DISTRO_CODENAME is normally updated relatively soon after the 
upgrade rather than just before the next upgrade, typically at the same 
time as the DISTRO_VERSION is set to its post-upgrade value. I do not 
know why that did not happen this time.

And the reason I ask for it to be updated to match the content is of 
course that we sometimes use it when there is a need to differentiate 
between how things are done in the current version and in the upcoming 
release.
