F9 codenames
Juan recently commented on the list of names for Fedora 9 and some of the perhaps more tasteless choices that are there. I was responsible for doing the name collection. While I might not particularly like some of the names that wound up on the final list, I didn't feel it was my place to arbitrarily filter the list. Legal trims the list quite a bit already, the names fit the criteria, and we wanted to be sure we were left with more than two names.

That being said, there are some possible names on the list that aren't all that horrible. Bathysphere seems to be quite popular for reasons I don't fully understand. Woodwose or Kingsport Town seem ok as well. Alas, the one I was going to vote for was pruned at the last minute. Such is life.

I know there are one or two names that are not on the 'really-horrible-names list'. I voted for one of them. What worries me is the fact that those names were proposed. Its kinda embarrassing to see the lack of imagination our community have, and if that is the case i rather stick to the old tradition about naming the release.

What tradition is that? As far as I know, this _is_ the old tradition. It simply has an expanded contributor base now.
