Once we have a release-quality image, won't most people get the image from the Docker registry? So the name of the tarball isn't so much important as the tag, which already tracks the creation date. We'll want to have a discussion about that tagging strategy at some point, but spending too many cycles on how to name the tarballs, which should only be for testing images that aren't GA yet, seems a waste.
