I agree, I don't think Supernova is a good name for 2.0. That said, In  
The Beginning isn't too bad ;)
We will also have a space theme going here, which makes it easier to  
a) get people to make us splashscreens and b) find release images.

I think we should stick with the inuit folklore for all pre-2.0  
released, then release with a new splashcreen and new release naming  
scheme all at once (i am talking to someone on #oxygen about getting a  
splashscreen right now).

And 17 should at *least* be enough to get us to 2.1 or 2.2, or until  
we have figured out something better i think, no?
