alt Hacker NewsI guess it never really occurred to me that people wouldn't immediately grok:
* Luna (Moon)
* Terra (Earth)
* Sol (Sun)
* Astra (Galaxy/Universe)
The relative sizing seems dead simple.

You're misunderstanding the misunderstanding.
You're right! The relative sizing of models is dead simple. This doesn't help when there are improvements between release numbers, and models are released one at a time instead of as a family.
When Sol 6.4 comes out and the latest Astra is still 6.1, which do you use?

1. Even more dead simple if it just used Moon instead of Luna, Sun instead of Sol, etc. - one less quick translation in the head.
2. Or even more dead simple if it just used "Small", "Large", etc. - removing another quick translation in the head. (On the other hand, all these suggestions are English - maybe Luna, etc. is more understandable for non-English speakers?)
