The Future of release names

[Jaroslav Reznik]

Hi,
seems like the discussion steered to the phase of no return to the
reasonable output, also it stalled - so we (as a Board) would like
to push it forward.

I think the best idea for now is try to get interested people to 
meet together, to check if there's real demand for the change and
if so, to start with the real proposals to create a new process.

I created Doodle poll - the next two weeks, I can add more option,
just it's not very user friendly. Feel free to vote and we will
see ;-)

Thanks
Jaroslav
