True. I could drop snapshot and leave the name, although "snapshot" is
pretty commonly used to mean "not a proper release".

I think it's a good idea actually. Gnus used (perhaps still does) to
have funky names for releases -- ding, oort and that sort of
thing. Perhaps, we should be the same for Emacs. "Fred" for Emacs-27,
"Bob" for Emacs-28? Good idea or what?
