Jaunty Whatthefudgealope?

Apparently the Ubuntu version 9.04 will be called “Jaunty Jackalope”.

That’s f**ing retarded.

Why? Imagine a conversation going like: “Hey, if vista’s not stratchin’ your itch, you’ve got to give ol’ jackalope a try”. “what-a-lope?” “jackalope. It’s a cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope” “I think I’ll pass”

I was initially pissed when Intrepid became a three-syllable term, thus breaking a line of two syllable names.

But I hope to god, they don’t give Linus Trovalds the honor of naming version 10.10. (Hint: version 10.10 will begin with an M)
