-1 for rolling from me. Here's why:
1. Users will most likely misinterpret this codename to mean a
_stable_rolling_release version of Fedora, which rawhide is not. We
don't want people installing rawhide instead of our stable releases -
that won't be a good thing, since even though rawhide is a lot more
stable now, it doesn't go through the general QA process that applies
to our stable releases.
I think the idea here is to make rawhide *cool*, in a race car driver
sort of way - it's fast, it likes to stay ahead, it has an adrenaline
rush to it, it likes to win, and it takes some risks to do this
(Sylvester Stallone in Driven, anyone?). So it's super cool to be a
rawhide user, but it's also more risky - in a fun, daredevil way!
2. "Rolling" doesn't offer much theme wise. If we're redoing rawhide,
why not pick something that gives the design team lots to work with -
we could do lots of cool stuff with a new codename, t-shirts ("I'm
badass, I run $rawhide!"). logos, images, case badges, stickers,
wallpapers?
I don't have too many name suggestions at the moment. Things like:
- El Nino (the NFS game had a really quick car named El Nino)
- Nitro - or some Nascar or other racing reference? (I know nothing
about Nascar)
- Something like hyper/warp/jump drive (if there's a cooler name to
these?)
+1 to "Dune Buggy", but maybe the "buggy" part doesn't help us.
