Yes, this happens because people still have no idea how to call the next
release. That's precisely why we started this proposal - to settle on a
name everyone can start using. Nobody knows the next name just yet, hence
the confusion.

Personally I think that if we have moved this forward already and not
pointing mistakes already done, we could have been done with it by now and
make it even official. Of course these things happen and will happen until
the original proposal will take effect. Or any other proposal, for that
matter.

You know, you're not really helping this effort much. I believe you mean
well, but keeping just bashing things is not constructive.
