Jaguar Release Ahead of Schedule?

Warlock7 writes "CNET has an article that discusses the 'early' release of Mac OS X 10.2, codename Jaguar. The article says that Jaguar should be ready for release in August, more than a month earlier than the analysts expected."

X11 is already taken and refers to the XFree86 protocol. So what will the next major release be named? "But it goes all the way to eleven." (insert Spinal Tap joke here) Which makes me wonder whether Apple will go back to the tradition of calling things "plus" or "II" like the MacPlus or MacII in days of old. MacOSXPlus and MacOSXII sounds bad, but MacOSXIIx would be even worse.

and in the mac historical context...

The new MacOSX release Schedule:

MacOSX.II
MacOSX.IIci
MacOSX.IIcx
MacOSX.IIfx
MacOSX.IIsi
MacOSX.IIvi
MacOSX.IIvx
MacOSX.IIx

Then, of course:
MacOSX.colorclassicII

And for the budget market:
MacOSX.lcII
MacOSX.lcIII
MacOSX.lcIIIplus

Now lets go retro!

MaxOSX.IIe
MaxOSX.IIgs

Or they can use the great X naming scheme:
MacOSX2, and eventually MacOSX11R6 :P

Furthermore, 10.1 was a free upgrade for 10.0 owners! So they're cannabalizing the chance to give away more free cds?

Or worse, 10.11.6, i.e. X.11 R6....
