Yeah, I was going to say, why not 1XX or something, 5XX would also be
good. Then we don't paint ourselves in the corner with the numbering.

Oh please, no. Then when we find a bug in the code, we have to fix it
in two places. And claiming it will be short-lived doesn't make it ok,
because these things always stick around longer than you anticipate.

I don't expect it to be especially difficult to have a new column with
some data validation so that the cells only accept either 'ubuntu' or
'ubuntu-rtm' and then you can pick them like a drop-down, and then
that can be trivially referenced when assigning. There's no need to
duplicate the entire spreadsheet for this.

I'm not sure what charged means in the context of jenkins, but it
shouldn't be hard to just change the few places where we hard-code
'ubuntu' into a variable that can either be 'ubuntu' or 'ubuntu-rtm'
and reference that from the spreadsheet data.
