This is a lovely sentiment but I think it would prove difficult to accomplish at this point in time and would be a little disruptive to the artwork/codename theming that is already finished. As an alternative I would suggest leaving the codenames as they are but when we release F16 we do so in memory of Dennis Ritchie.
