Sorry to disagree!, but if we allow Mathematicians' names here, I have some others that are far greater than Banach and Tarski, take

F19 Euclid -  Greatest Geometer of all time
F19 Archimedes

take Paul Erdös, Euler, Riemann, Gauss, All would be great here :)

Sadly, though Spherical you would be correct sir, I also thought about Lobachevsky, but he apparently did work on HyperBolic Geometries :)

But to get back at the naming, How about the tribute to Denis Ritchie, was the next version of Fedora going to be named in his honor, since he was one of the pioneers of C/C++ and the Unix operating system which is the prototype of the system that we are using?

Just like the American Political System, we have no voice and no vote :(, the "Ruling Elite" are the ones that chose names and vote, us the users are the ones that have to end up with whatever others choose if we are not part of the "Ruling Elite" :(  Is there an electoral college in the Fedora voting?  Because if there is, the majority does not get to choose the name :(

Best Regards,


Antonio
