Re: Frustration over Debian naming
rhkramer:
Intentionally cross posted. Aside: For those on the debian-user lists,
the thread came from the debian-backports list, but my frustration
should probably be expressed more to the debian-user list (or
debian-developer list, assuming there is such a list (to which I am
not subscribed). [...]
But the various names and use of those names gets very frustrating for
me, and I suspect I am not the only one. The numbered versions, the
Toy Story names, and then the testing, stable, old stable, old old
stable is just frustrating.
Tangentially to that, it seems that someone needs to pick up the dropped
baton and update the pictures.
