I personally think there should be a codename. We are all "brain-artists" and prove me wrong, but sometimes this work is dry and odd. All committers and people working here, their brains need a star shining at the horizon, to be motivated to reach our goals. A codename represents an image and gives this whole thing a personality, besides moving packages, breaking 42 major tests, compiling modules, run for the 100th time in a day etc. Just my opinion.
So +1 for a codename Excalibur is great, (Doug | King) Arthur and 5th (century | flex version) suits perfectly well for me. What about just the word "grale" addressing the same King Arthur story, but standing for his search for it.. the wholy grale. Its short and meaningless to those having concerns of a codename, but shiny to those who know the true meaning.
