So, with that concern being valid, what if we used the Periodic Table of Elements as a "selection pool" and we let the Fedora Community vote on which element to choose for the next release name? This gives us a large pool of non-offending names to choose from, but still letting the community choose which name to use.<br>

</div>Yep, that's not good idea to match release number to atomic number<br>
as I'd say a lot are clear (nobody is going to call the product<br>
Ununbium) but Cobalt - cool name! Tungsten is already used...). So it<br>
will lead to gaps and inconsistency.<br>
