You forgot the third camp, who want their release names without punctuation so it doesn't break a decade of configuration scripting. Releases need punctuation and non-7-bit ASCII in their names like goldfish need martinis.

*smack own forehead* I like that better than the other options also.
For me, one extra point for Vidalia onion over "20".
Heck I like "Crazy Train" based on a recent Matthew Miller assertion.
Assuming there can be no late add ins though, the overwhelmingly
obvious correct answer is Heisenbug. I attract more Heisenbugs than anyone I know. It's funny. It's true, they totally exist. And (sorry!) all the other options are snoozers. Now, had it been "Santa's reindeer" that might have made it a *little* less obvious, what the correct answer is.
How about no release name, just this one time. In his honor? I love release names, and while I didn't know Seth very well personally, probably the main reason I use Fedora/RHEL/CentOS is because of yum. He deserves the honor in my opinion. The choices up there are lame.
The choices are what the community came up with. At this point, that is what we have to chose from.
If i I had to choose I guess I'd vote for Santa Claus but this is
ridiculous.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but there are essentially two camps right now. Those that don't care about release names one bit (like me), and those that do. If those that do care want better names, they'll need to work harder at creating meaningful suggestions.
The Board has an open ticket on the naming process. We're working through it now, but "no release names" isn't an immediate option because the last time we proposed that the community vote showed names were still desired. Hopefully we'll resolve the ticket shortly and explain how naming needs to work in the future.
With all due respect can someone please explain to me how this release is "dedicated" to Mr. Vidal?
It will be dedicated in the release announcement. Perhaps someone might add something to the download page on the website as well.
