Heh. You guys think too much. Be careful with that. Don't worry too much about reading profound volumes into the tagname of one of our releases. I just short-listed Omni because I thought it was a cool word/prefix. It doesn't have to lend an arrogant tone to the release any more than Noodle would lend a silly tone to it. I defy anybody to divine a pattern from our previous seven tagnames. The randomness should be enough to convince you all that the tagname serves only as a symbolic reference to the release number. We don't have to make a statement with it. - J ps: I think Zenith would be a good one too. But if we're reading meanings into the names, perhaps Zenith should be saved for 1.0. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
