Phoronix: Fedora 20 Will Likely Have Another Goofy Codename

It's time to vote for another Fedora codename, this time for Fedora 20, and it's likely to be yet another weird/goofy codename to succeed recent names like Beefy Miracle and Spherical Cow...

I vote Superego, one bitch of a name!

Goofy names because Fedora is a goofy distro, a test bed for Red Hat. I tried using Gnome 3 and I can see why Red Hat went for the "classic" version which they had to include into the .iso otherwise their PR staff would be screwed. I used to program with Gtk but started learning Qt and comparing it to Gtk it just reinforced my former belief that Gnome and Gtk were adhoc solutions for Red Hat (like AWT for Java) that they never bothered fixing from the ground up. Gtk itself is full of wacky names and solutions, not to mention Gtk3 doesn't work (properly or at all) on windows.
If Fedora went for KDE as the default option (and while at it dump Gnome/gtk altogether) and treated the users as users (not as hackers) it would be a different story, but it would be too smart and ballsy even for Red Hat.

Well, ?sterreich is not that bad of a codename. Heisenbug is a really good "is a" connection.
Chateaubriand ? Brian's Castle Daemon?

A test bed with 20,000+ packages deplaced on some well-known firms like Yahoo, Pixar to name a few.
