Why's that necessary?
* The code names are a name, nothing more. They're important for people
to make the distinction between one suite and the other, but the
quality of our distribution isn't at stake if we get a bad one.
* We don't actually care what the name of the distribution is going to
be. It's fun to know what the next one will be, but that's about the
end of the story.
* aj is doing a fine job at it (and, especially, at being a Release
Manager. At least IMO).

Well, it won't get you anywhere. If you want to ramble on about this,
fine, but do it somewhere else please. Thanks.
