You have to keep in mind that amd64 will probably be the most popular
Debian port for new machines to install on in two years, while GNU/k*BSD
(or whatever it is called) is the personal pet-project of a couple of
DDs. So I don't think we should name it after a codename nobody buying
an amd64 box today will recognize anyway. Even AMD have not used
'hammer' for a year now I guess.
What would a user look for on www.debian.org after he bought his shiny
new ***** box?
