It's easy to know the upgrade path: dapper -> edgy -> feisty -> gutsy
-> hardy -> intrepid -> j____

It wasn't alphabetical from the start: The earlier releases were warty
(warthog), hoary (hedgehog) and breezy (badger).

With olpc-update, it's not critical to update from version x to
version x+1 - we can skip versions as we don't depend on a particular
package state. (e.g. You can upgrade from 650 to joyride without
having to upgrade to 703 first...) In the future that could become
significant though if we have system changes affecting datastore
format changes or something which might make support easier if
upgrading from a known version.
