Reading all the other posts and responses to this I'd have to also
agree,...that naming should definitely tip it's hat to the scientific
community, and all their triumphs, and various achievements. From historical
figures, through to modern day innovators. Well then....what name shall we
give the next version of Fedora?....Sigmund
"Newton"?........."Galileo"
Pasteur?....LoL! Fire away!
