Come on... after Wombat for 0.7?!  Noodly isn't bad, even if no one
gets it (how many people know what Vega is?), but why not nounify it
and make it Noodle?  That'd be more in line with previous versions. 
Noodl[y|e] has connotations of brain, of thinking.  I like that. :-)

Though I do like Omni better, snobbish overtones and all.  (After all,
I daresay most of us are using Arch because we *do* think it's better.
 If all we do to "show off" is to release a name with *possible*
overtones, I think we're doing much better than some other distros,
names withheld.)
