The person who marked this as Opinion doesn't work on ubuntu-cdimage as
far as I know.  Reverting.

Title:
  CD-image naming scheme

Status in Ubuntu CD Images:
  New
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

  All the cd images are named the same, regardless of product, and
  regardless of release. For example currently, kubuntu releases are all
  labelled "hardy-desktop-i386" etc, with no distinction between kubunt
  and ubuntu, nor minor releases. The only thing that changes is the
  major release (gutsy, hardy, etc.), the CD type
  (live/alternate/server), and the build type (i386, generic, amd64,
  etc).

  Please use a more descriptive CD image naming scheme. Perhaps something like:
  [Distro]-[Major release]-[Minor release]-[CD type]-[Build type].iso

  This would result in much more useful filenames, such as:
  kubuntu-hardy-daily080307-desktop-i386.iso, or
  xubuntu-hardy-alpha6-alternate-amd64.iso

  (sorry about the package chosen for this wishlist item, I couldn't
  find anything more suitable)
