When Werewolf came out the name was used prominently in almost every review
I read. It seems people like the name in general, just look at Ubuntu,
officially they are numbered releases but everyone uses the names. It's a
good PR move and it gives our releases a little bit of personality. I, for
one, would proudly announce thatI used Potato if it was a Fedora release.
