Hi Josh,

Thanks for replying.

I personally LOVE release names. However, I feel that we should forego
it this one release.

What is the point of the board of the community decides everything?

We all know that there needs to be a tough decision made by the board,
and it's not release names vs no release names. For me it's about
doing what Seth would have wanted, whether he was close to us or not,
whether he he touched us or knew us or cared about personally.

Please seriously consider the following and have a BOARD vote on it:
