I have not reinstated phase numbers; I have Rahila's positive vote for them. Do I hear any more votes on this issue?
If there is a specific technical issue, I'd like to understand that more. If it is just a usability preference, then I say we should have numbers.
Numbering is natural for people. If we say "It's currently doing phase XYZ", they will say "Is that the 3rd phase?", we'll say "No, actually the 5th", and then they will say "Why didn't you just number them?"
