nothing's stopping the developers from giving it a version number. They
just choose not to. I thought they did all have numbers? I don't
know about the first few

Once they are released as "Stable", yes they do. But many people use
Stable only on their servers, and use "Testing" on their desktops.

are currently using Wheezy on their desktops. Wheezy hasn't got a
number, so how are people to refer to it?
