And obviously the phoronix and others thought you are on the release
team and you have a say about next codename (since you have blogged
about it, it must be true). *palmface* (not targeted at Neil nor
Dimitri...)

Well, it makes me really sad how little effort the current journalists
make to verify the claims. Dimitry blogs some insider joke and it's
already on phoronix. And since it's written on the internet it must be
true. *double palmface*
