true, just like the gmond default port selection or the choice of default multicast address, and I am sad also to see it go. release names are more commonly seen in big development projects with long release cycles (like distributions) and that usually can dedicate the time to come out with some long scheme of choosing one (including votes, polls or email discussions) or where someone (usually the release person) arbitrarily choses them on each release (like the linux kernel), and it wouldn't be a problem at all if we would just update them as soon as the release is done and the next development cycle is started (together with updating the version number) and as explained by our documented release process. > Some people still wonder what the names stand for :-) including me, even if I'd remember some comment about it being tied to some sort of aviation theme but I don't recall the specifics.
