Reading all the other posts and responses to this I'd have to also 
agree,...that naming should definitely tip it's hat to the scientific 
community, and all their triumphs, and various achievements. From 
historical figures, through to modern day innovators. Well then....what 
name shall we give the next version of Fedora?....Sigmund 
"Newton"?........."Galileo" Pasteur?....LoL! Fire away!
