Seems to me that releases herald yet another way of designing and 
managing a new Linux system with emerging technologies.
It does not matter if releases are delayed, nor does it matter how many 
times delays occur. These devs and testers do a superlative job.
Frankly, because most of us, as I understand it, use old technology 
boxes (3-5 years and beyond),  I'd be delighted if they stretched 
releases out to 9 or12 months.
Neither does naming matter, call it what they will. From Red Hat days 
through Fedora versions for me it's been  RH nn or Fedora 1..19.  Never 
Slimy Sausage, HotDogwithMustard, Fat Cow, Verne, whatever. Although I 
did like the concept of naming after famous scientists, that gave it  a 
special aire.
