I would really like to see whatever we do done for F16 to be timely.
There really isn't any requirement that the theming match the release
name, just a tradition. If it isn't too late to just change the
release name within F16 I certainly would not object to doing that,
although I think a public statement via the release announcement would
be nice too as that would, I hope, keep Ritchie's memory in the public
eye and remind people of his importance to our community.

Perhaps the board could call a quick open forum to discuss this, so we
could find out what our options really are at this stage of the F16
cycle?
