Why's that necessary? * The code names are a name, nothing more. They're important for people to make the distinction between one suite and the other, but the quality of our distribution isn't at stake if we get a bad one. * We don't actually care what the name of the distribution is going to be. It's fun to know what the next one will be, but that's about the end of the story. * aj is doing a fine job at it (and, especially, at being a Release Manager. At least IMO). > But I'm not surrender (by now): Well, it won't get you anywhere. If you want to ramble on about this, fine, but do it somewhere else please.
