You can trust goats are smelly...

The trusty repos are open, although at this point it's basically saucy+trusty base-files.



EDIT: And yeah, the blog post is pretty much more of the same trademarked "shuttleworth moronics"

Homonym with Tar

It's a mistake to name an operating system something that is a homonym with Tar.

That is bad luck, IMO, as tar is what most animals get stuck in, never to emerge, and die.

One of the biggest tourist attractions in Los Angeles is the La Brea Tar Pits, in which hundreds of ice age animals (sabre tooth tigers, woolly mammoths) got stuck in the tar and were excavated millenia later.

Is that the image of the next (K)Ubuntu version that must come to my mind each time I pronounce the name? I realise it's supposed to be a long-term version, but... really?

In a world in which most people can't spell English words anyway (look no farther than the Ubuntu help website (https://help.ubuntu.com/) where Salamander is spelled Salemander), homonyms are extremely important to consider. Trusty Tahr ("Trusty Tar") is a mistake. Naming it that really gets my goat.

Oh well, "whatever floats your goat":
