...what the hell are they going to do after 26 releases?

I lay awake in bed at night wondering the same thing, cold sweat running down my face as I count down the seconds until the release of Ubuntu 17.10. Then I consider that the world is becoming increasingly unstable and fractured and I realise that there's a good chance the human race will destroy itself in a fiery hellstorm of nuclear war long before then. With this thought comes overwhelming relief and I cry myself to sleep with tears of joy that I will never have to face the terrible reality of knowing what comes after Zesty Zebra.

If you'd bravely soldiered on to the third sentence of the summary (don't strain yourself now, remember to take a 5 minute break in between sentences), you would have found out!

Nuclear war? We're all gonna die tomorrow when we get turned to strangelets by the LHC. I've withdrawn all my savings and will be blowing the lot on hookers and cocaine tonight. That's what I do every Tuesday and I won't let the end of the world spoil my fun!

I would start with A again, and call the new release simply Animal Adjective.
