I know it's fun to come up with branch names, however, I don't think they're very helpful to people that aren't involved on a day to day basis. Maybe I am missing something, but why can't we just stick to version numbers. Pebbles would be 1.x branch, we just released 1.6.0 and are going to release 1.6.1 soon. Both of those are children of the 1.6.x branch. The work on Crowbar 2 happens on the 2.x branch. In my opinion that strategy is a lot clearer than using code names, that just means only insiders know how elefante, betty, fred, fledermaus, pebbles and mesa align chronologically.

The driver for this change is to allow Pebbles to be stable to support OpenStack Grizzly releases. The new branch will be updated to support OpenStack Havana using the Pull-From-Source (PFS) capabilities. There is already active work on this that needs a place for collaborative development. Before we branch, we should have resolved as many pull requests as possible. Having a zero backlog is hopeful but not a requirement. Ideally, we will be ready for this before next sprint. That leaves us with the _real question_ : what do we name the branch? Based on our Flintstone's genealogy, I'm suggesting "Roxy" because she is Pebbles' daughter. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flintstones) Note: The CB 2.x new architecture work continues on trunk.
