Once they are released as "Stable", yes they do.  But many people use Stable 
only on their servers, and use "Testing" on their desktops.  (Testing is 
pretty stable - just not Stable).  E.g., many (most) people are currently 
using Wheezy on their desktops.  Wheezy hasn't got a number, so how are 
people to refer to it?
