I reread your message a couple of times, but I fail to see your motivation behind this proposal. Except for your personal preference, what problems do you see with current naming scheme? The current scheme is non-offensive, simple (one word), and somewhat meaningful (for example Sid is the kid that breaks toys). If you do not like the names, you can use Stable, Testing, Unstable, or version numbers. For example "Stable 4.0" == "Etch".
You're right: the name is not offensive and short, but it just has a childish "taste" which IMHO just doesn't fit to the grown-up Debian OS. When I think about it again, my suggestion to use The Simpsons characters isn't better at all - it just has a different color. I sure can live with the Toy Story names, but for me the naming has room for improvements. Think about press releases etc. Regards, Torsten
