The 20H1 identifier used by LeBlanc was Microsoft's code-named label for the year's (2020) first-half (H1) feature upgrade, presumably one of two assuming the company follows its 2019 cadence.
Its newest name, Windows 10 May 2020 Update, is in the form Microsoft's used since 2018, when it began applying month and year, spelled out, rather than coming up with monikers like 2017's Fall Creators Update or 2016's Anniversary Update. Because Microsoft has tended to wait until later in the development process to assign such names, they've been the most accurate of the bunch.
Finally, Microsoft had earlier tagged this as 2004, the four-digit number in its yymm format. The company had altered it from the usual yy03 for 2020's spring feature upgrade because the resulting 2003 because it was afraid it might be confused with the long-obsolete Windows Server 2003.
Free support to business customers
Perhaps in an attempt to coax more commercial customers into participating in Windows Insider -- specifically the Windows Insider for Business spin-off -- Microsoft also said that it would provide support to those running the Release Preview ring or the Slow ring builds. (The Slow ring is more polished code issued about once a month to Insiders.)
