Ever since the "greased weasel" series of kernel releases I have been stuck for a good name.
This release is tentatively called the "stoned beaver" release (beavers are _almost_ as good as weasels, as I'm sure Scott Adams would agree).
I think that the "Stoned Beaver" is almost as good of a name as "Greased Weasel". However, I would like to submit the following suggestion.
I feel that "Stoned Beaver" sends the impression that this release has problems with volatile (short-term) memory and gets the munchies for more resources.
To improve market visibility, I recommend that the next testing release be named "Shaved Beaver". I feel this name denotes something that is sleek and highly visible. The only shortcoming I could foresee for this name are emails or newsgroup postings with the subject line "Shaved Beaver ready for pounding". It may be a possible problem for SPAM filters.
I agree that it's tough to beat "Greased Weasel", but if you really are stuck coming up with a new name, I think "Greased Beaver" would be almost as good.
Maybe not. On the other hand, this sort of thing was very common in Soviet Russia under Stalin. There was a program on the History Channel here in the States this week that detailed the process of "breaking" a spy, informant, political dissenter, etc.
There was a segment on the program that mentioned Stalins chief of the Secret Police. At some point, Stalin stopped trusting him and had him arrested. The man was eventually interrogated and executed. At the time, there were several pictures and documents that mentioned he and Stalin together. According to the program, Stalin had the man airbrushed out of all of the government photos that existed of them together.
I don't remember the mans name (any/.'ers from former Soviet Russia out there?), but it is disturbing how a government can simply choose to "forget" and claim somthing else all along was the truth.

I think you can find a picture of Larry on the goatse.cx domain.
