Not confusing but not attractive either. For everybody who doesnt

Well, do we really want to sound too attractive? Its effectively beta
quality software.
We do. We need more people to test it. I am of the opinion that we have
been way too cautious about asking people to say away and we end up with
bugs in the GA release as a result of that.
People need to know that up front (before wasting time downloading
it). The people that don't mind beta test software will get it. If
we attract more than that, we run the risk of others thinking that we
suck because we're rough around the edges and then they un-install it
and never look back, spouting out curses directed our way all the
while. The Mozilla guys get around this by removing all branding from
the software until its a final release. We don't really want to do
that, I don't think...
If we really want to go the naming route, I'd spend more time figuring
out cool names for the final releases.
Thats orthogonal to having a nick for the various test releases like
Debian Sid or whatever.
