[ros-dev] Why??

[Rick Langschultz]

I have an idea - each version of windows is code named. Does anyone  
remember: neptune, whistler, longhorn, blackcomb? Nobody remembers  
code names they remember the innovations, improvements, and  
annoyances provided by the stable or released version. I have a copy  
of whistler on an old machine and I would rather run that as opposed  
to XP.

Why not call the releases ReactOS (Zeus) or any other naming scheme.  
Linux distributions are released through naming. Also providing  
something like 0.2-12182005 would statisfy my check-out needs.

But I do like the code naming idea best. Since 0.3.0 may not (Or will  
not) be the next release. Besides it is tiring to hear people bicker  
about versioning. Just say the next release, or the next version.
