Initially at the point of reading the suggestion I agreed that naming
a release after him was an awesome plan, although nearing my reading's
conclusion I came upon the thought that, since Seth has given so much
to our software and community, I personally believe that the devotion
of one meager release that has the staying power of somewhere between
6 and 18 months before it is committed to EOL seems a little
temporary; from what we have all been saying about him, I think he
might deserve a more permanent fixture within the Red Hat / Fedora /
Linux community, some recognition along the lines of Torvalds or
Stallman.
