Having a distro name different to the community name might suggest that they may govern more than one distro .
So OMA releases libreDriva and Moondrake. I am not against the community releasing different distro's but separating the community name from the release name lends itself to this. > It's still open for discussion -- my thinking is that we should keep doing >regular releases (with a release cycle between 6 months and a year, to be >decided) while also introducing a rolling release tree (basically sanity- I would like a long release LTS or stable rolling release cycle. Mageia, Fedora, opensuse all have short release cycles and using tools like FedUp to consistently upgrade is a pain. Debian distro's LMDE , Solydxk are doing nice rolling release based on testing with monthly or quarterly updates. Doing something like that based off cooker would be awesome.
