And yet our sources.list files all contain
deb <mirror> stretch main
and not
deb <mirror> 9 main
And I had to look up "9" in that wiki page to even make this point.
The page has also only existed since 2013; prior to that, the
information was in the WP page for Debian proper (but not easily
accessible on Debian's own home page); and for a while in the middle it
was not nicely collated in any of those places. As with anything on
Wikipedia, there's no guarantee it will be there Tomorrow.
