Yay, I like it!

Note that strictly speaking, we don't need the "Tails_" prefix. Also,
I would find it nice to clearly distinguish the "target versions" that
will be 100% reached on a flag day, and by releasing a given Tails
only (e.g. Tails/Jessie), from the ones that are more general
milestones. So, that could become:

* 2.0 => Milestone_Sustainability
* 3.0 => Milestone_Hardening
* 4.0 => Tails_Jessie

Thoughts?

Cheers!
