As a Mac user, at best I remember the current cat and the last cat. References to future cats, past cats, along with the current cats, makes my eyes glaze over and I start thinking about how the litter box is already too full. We definitely don't need more g.d. cats! Apple doesn't name their iOS releases, however. Kinda curious huh? Chris Murphy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
