'Hardy Heron' Newest Ubuntu

[Datura]

The first version of Ubuntu to be released next year has been unveiled, and in the tradition of affable alliterations decending the alphabet, the OS has been codenamed "Hardy Heron."

Heron will be the successor to Gusty Gibbon (version 7.10), which is due out in October 2007. Heron will set to arrive in April 2008.

At first glance, I thought that read Hardy _Heroin_ and started wondering what influence those Afghan poppy-growers had over Canonical.

Ubuntu is a great distro but I fear the release naming scheme, however attractive a few years back, must be causing embarrassment now. The recent alliterative pairings are struggling not to look laboured. Fawns simply aren't feisty; nor, as far as I know, are herons any hardier than most birds.

BTW, if M$ had adopted the same scheme, would Vista be Worthless Weakling or Woeful ****er?"
