You forgot the third camp, who want their release names without punctuation so it doesn't break a decade of configuration scripting. Releases need punctuation and non-7-bit ASCII in their names like goldfish need martinis.

right now. Those that don't care about release names one bit (like
me), and those that do. If those that do care want better names,
they'll need to work harder at creating meaningful suggestions.
The Board has an open ticket on the naming process. We're working
through it now, but "no release names" isn't an immediate option
because the last time we proposed that the community vote showed names
were still desired. Hopefully we'll resolve the ticket shortly and
explain how naming needs to work in the future.

might add something to the download page on the website as well.
