As "suit-and-tie" as some may view it, I'd rather have "$distro $relver" than "$distro $relver $somestupidname-yes-im-talking-to-you-beefy-miracle" What happened to the days of having names like Leonidas and Verne? Maybe include in the rules that it needs to be slightly more relevant than "beey miracle" or "chicken vindaloo"? --Caitlyn On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 11:29 AM, DJ Delorie <dj@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message >> has been automatically rejected.
