Ubuntu uses the consecutive letter scheme too, and with their twice-a-year
schedule, they're already about to wrap around.

Which is no issue, as both asteroids and weird animals have multiples for
every letter of the alphabet.  Some letters are markedly less well
provisioned than others, but I have a hunch that someone will change this
scheme long before this becomes a problem.

Well, I would be happy to be still alive and to be able to take part
to the flame when we finally come to Z :)

Taking into account that Debian has had 13 stable releases in 20
years, with a release cycle stabilised around two years in the last
decade, 26 releases woud cover more than half a century...

That will be jessie as far as I know.


Ascii is the codename of the testing branch in the same way as Ceres  
is the codename of the unstable branch (sid in debian). Isn't it?


  Aitor.


Ascii is the codename for the _current_ testing, not "for the testing  
branch". Ascii will become stable, someday.


Ceres is the codename for unstable, which will be always unstable. It  
gets copied to testing on stable release (and as such the disappearing  
of the previous testing)

Thanks Hendrick!

I had thought the original poster was on drugs asking us what we wanted
for ascii. Your explanation makes is question perfectly understandable.
Ascii will be the name of version 1, won't it?

Thanks,

Ascii is an asteroid named after that code..  And devuan should 
certainly run when one's computer is  on an asteroid. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3568_ASCII
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=3568+ASCII#content

Different names of asteroids seem to appeara on the different database.

Ascii does not appear on the lists of asteroids and minor planets at 
http://www.nofs.navy.mil/festsci/list/astname.html or 
http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/lists/MPNames.html

ceres, by the way, is an asteroid too, on both lists. 

I haven't found jessie on the asteroids name list at 
http://www.nofs.navy.mil/festsci/list/astname.html,
but did find Jessiecheng.  Jessie is on the list at the minor planet 
center.

On the JPL small body database browser, I find
