tl;dr - Screw the rules, I agree Let's at least add it to the poll.
Also - I think we should further amend the rules such that we select the NEXT release by the summit for the current release. That means two things: At the g summit, we'd tell everyone where the next summit is: At the g summit, we'd vote and announce the name of h We wouldn't have to spend half the cycle saying "h, or whatever" when we mean "we're going to defer that crazy idea until next time" I wouldn't have had to use the letter g by itself twice just above here.
