To people who use Perl casually, and to those who aren't familiar with
the versioning system, I think it makes a lot of sense. Giving the
release a name tells them that significant changes have occurred, and
shows progression through the lifetime of the major version.

How long until Perl 6? With this schema it would be right after 'Perl
V Zebulon' (or your choice of city Z). Which would correspond to the
5.26 numeric version.
