I'll not comment on the name overmuch.  However, many scripts out
there do not deal well with _ in release names, while they do with -.
I was running FreeBSD 4.0_19991003_TSC for a while and found that too
much software in the ports collection would freak out on this name,
but not 4.0-19991003-TSC.

So I don't care if you call it
	4.3-ALL-YOUR-RELEASE-ARE-BELONG-TO-US
or	4.3-CAT-WROTE-FLOPPY-DRIVER
just don't use underscores.  Thank you.
