See my reply earlier. The description of the centos-devel list says "this
is strictly about development."

I take that to mean it is for developers. I am not a developer for CentOS.
I don't know this, but I'm guessing there are many many users and admins of
CentOS who are not on that list, like me. Even a "Please check out this
thread for an important discussion about the future of CentOS release
names." would have been appreciated.

Now it's too late.

(As I said earlier, it's not just the ISO name either).
