Come on... after Wombat for 0.7?! Noodly isn't bad, even if no one

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.)
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.
So why not make it implicit and call it Rand? :P
Andrew
