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?"
