Search engines are way smarter than that, and I daresay that people are far more likely to search for “Ceph” or “Ceph squid" than for “squid” alone looking for Ceph. > I don’t know how many more (sub)species there are to start over from A (the > first release was Argonaut) Ammonite is a natural, and two years later we *must* release Cthulhu.

I haven’t seen the web cache used in years — maybe still in Antarctica? These are vanity names for fun. I’ve found that more people know the numeric release they run than the codename anyway. > What's coming next? Ceph Redis? Ceph Apache? Or Apache Ceph? Since you mention Apache, their “Spark” is an overload. And Apache itself is cultural appropriation but that’s a tangent. When I worked for Advanced Micro Devices we used the Auto Mounter Daemon I’ve also used AMANDA for backups, which was not a Boston song. Let’s not forget Apple’s iOS and Cisco’s IOS. Ceph Octopus, and this cable https://usb.brando.com/usb-octopus-4-port-hub-cable_p999c39d15.html and of course this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/110473961774 The first Ceph release named after Jason’s posse. Bobcat colliding with skid-loaders and Goldthwaite Dumpling and gyoza Firefly and the Uriah Heep album (though Demons & Wizards was better) Giant and the Liz Taylor movie (and grocery store) Hammer and Jan Jewel and the singer Moreover, Ceph Nautilus: Korg software Process engineering software CMS GNOME file manager Firefox and the Clint Eastwood movie Chrome and the bumper on a 1962 Karmann Ghia Slack and the Linux distribution When I worked for Cisco, people thought I was in food service. Namespaces are crowded. Overlap happens. Context resolves readily. Within the Cephapod scheme we’ve used Octopus and Nautilus, to not use Squid would be odd.
