I posted my stance on the logo issue multiple times to the Debian lists in
the past, and don't think that the Debian logo should refer to a penguin or
a gnu.

However, using anything (even penguin names) as code names for releases is
fine with me. My proposal is to use "makepasswd --crypt" and use the login
name, 62^8 different code names, should last for at least... 7.3e13 years :P

Thank you,
Marcus
