Am I the only person who thinks that the whole idea should be dropped?
I never, ever, heard anyone refer to Fedora-17 as Fedora Beefy Miracle
(if that is indeed the right name).
Why not just say, "It seemed like a good idea at the time.
But it obviously has not caught on.
Let's forget it."
Who ever said that was the point of a release name? It never really
had a purpose that we can now look back on and say it failed. It is
just a small thing our community has always done for fun. I find it
hard to tell someone else to stop having a little bit of fun even when
I might not personally find it fun and think it has little or no
value. It isn't any skin off my nose so I say let those who find this
fun have their fun.
