Oh, I really enjoyed the release name "(null)". Probably the funniest one so far. In this election I used 0 points. So much effort to come up with a list of codenames. Even Legal had to spend time on this. Is it worth it? Nitrate, Saltpetre, Water : after Sulphur? Nah. Too similar to a chain like "New York -> Boston -> Washington -> Chicago -> Pittsburgh" or so. I know it won't become a chain like that, but it still looks like that. (Books about Ubuntu contain complete chapters on explaining their codenames as if that were important to know.) Terror : "Dynamite" would have fit here, too, it seems. "Terror" as a codename is really bad taste. Mississippi, Nile, Cambridge, Farnsworth : certainly ambiguity plays an important role here -- I don't want to research that -- but to the majority of users these will appear in their geographical context, and that is too unimaginative. Whiskey Run : the only one I entered in Google. The results were unconvincing and didn't invite me to want to "learn" more about this. -- Fedora release 10 (+1) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
