While I think the idea of a rule imposing a series is brilliant, two concerns here: - Emperors as a theme - in a post-colonial world I think it might be a bit insensitive to elevate imperialism. Topically, I think free software is diametrically opposed to 'imperialism' in the form of a single central entity pushing out proprietary software. I also think that for a global project, we shouldn't fixate on any one region - the Roman empire, while encompassing quite a large range, was not global and was rather Euro-centric. - If we use an ordered series for a theme, there is no theme voting each release. While I've gotten to the point in my life where I strongly believe more constructive things could be done with the time and resources put into voting for names every release, I think the majority of folks who care would be upset about not getting to vote every release. Can you think of some alternative to emperors that has a logical progression and order? Famous mathematical/scientific constants maybe?? ~m _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
