Are we talking about the name of the distribution or just the codename?
I interpreted the raw IRC log differently.
Let me clarify by using Debian as example (not implying that Debian
is perfect or a good role model, just using it as example!):
The project "Debian" develops a system called "Debian GNU/Linux". The
current release is version 3.1. Internally during development it was
named "sarge", and that codename has been promoted also officially as a
nickname.
So is Finn-Arne expected to surprise us with a codename, a distribution
name or ...?
I ask because of the issue raised earlier tonight about possible
problems with the use of "Debian" as part of the distribution name.
