I vote we call the new branch "4.4-CABBAGE" since that has absolutely no prior connotations (related to software, anyway) for anyone and is self-evidently chosen to very deliberately not suggest anything, except perhaps that it might be a good time for some Borscht or a little Sauerkraut, in the reader's mind. I would also be content with RUTABAGA or BEET. - Jordan From: Andrew Boothman <andrew@cream.org> Subject: Re: RELENG_4_3 calls itself -RELEASE?
