Subject: No mure funny release-names ($NAME) in Makefile?

Hi Linus,

AFAICS the funny release-names ($NAME) have not changed for a long
while (did not check the logs).
Is that now useless...

L#5: NAME = Unicycling Gorilla

... or you lost all creativity in your brain :-)?

If I look at the xserver folks, they do change it for even rc#s...
(too much creativity, maybe).

( Background of my asking was a refresh of [2]. )

Regards,
