Internally, I'd like to just make the codenames more obvious. How many people know the current release (officially 11.4) is codenamed 'Celadon' ?
Not many (until they install it).
The long history of using green shades/objects is neutral and unique.
Even if not always language-neutral. (lysegrøn is a shade of green in my mothertongue).
I'd be fine with openSUSE lysegrøn :)

Along that concept, I could tell you off the top of my head that Debian's last current release is Etch, but I'd have to google to tell you that's 6.0.0.
Which might just be a good argument for keeping version numbering. To a non-native English speaker "Etch" is perhap at best a part of "Etch-a-Sketch", an 80s childs toy. Numbers are language-neutral (for anyone using arabic numerals at least :-). I know I've just installed 11.4, but I have no idea what the codename for 11.3 was. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
