Heh, No, Othello is simply a suggestion as a codename for the next 
release.  It is a simple marketing methodology to focus attention on a 
particular release.

With our release numbering system it is difficult to emphasise 
differences between releases.  ie  2.1 doesn't look that different from 
2.0.  However peoples brains are hard wired to percieve one name as 
different from another.

Look at the Ubuntu method.  Which is more different?

5.04 from 5.10

or

Hoary Hedgehog from Breezy Badger

Numbers define a scale of difference, Names don't have that limitation.
