yah, we've been through this before, it seems to be linguistically
impossible to find any single word in any language which does not sound
like or translate to some sort of pejorative in some other language.
so we persevere :)
FWIW fedor (that sounds almost like fedora) in Portuguese means "really bad
smell" so we don't even need to wait for release names. :-)
Now it is possible to associate a bad smell to all the previous codenames so
we are in the game again with Sulfur. ;-)
