Hi Charles!
Maybe it's a bit overkill to do a DEP just for that no? Otherwise, I can
make
a sum-up of what has been said in the list, if you see fit. (Though
probably,
it would be best to find someone to do it that has a less strong point of
view on the mater, and with better English skills than me...)
Also, I do like the fact that the release team decides for the name, I think
that's a very nice reward for their huge work. However, I think everyone in
the project should have equal rights as to discuss and decide *when* we need
such names (and, as always, best is to have a consensus).
