​I already replied to the other thread -

Poky releases are just branches, and this terminology, although not
directly related to the way Toaster works, is intended to help the
administrator make mental connections.

It's also directly related to the field names in the database, so it should
not be changed without changing the fields in the database and propagate
the change thought the GUI and the bitbake UI - so it would be fairly
invasive.
