I don't think it's been hatred (or passionate fighting, or else he would
have tried to reach a decision at the FPB level), but indeed, he has been
one of those who think the release name process is a waste of time and of
no use.

How many people are involved in suggesting release names, reviewing them,
checking them (Red Hat Legal)? How many people enjoy doing all that?
There aren't many voters.

It has come up many years ago already, too, that hardly anybody refers to
a Fedora distribution release using its codename instead of the release
numbers and/or shortnames: Fedora 19, F19, F-19, f19. It doesn't get more
accurate. No point releases as with Red Hat Linux.
