No, it really isn't. Everything on the front page of www.debian.org
refers to 'Debian 7.0' (with 'wheezy' as a secondary identifier in
one place).
All our formal documentation should identify stable releases by number
and then optionally by codename. For the testing suite (i.e. pre-
release), using the codename alone is more appropriate.
