Fedora 16 will not be a Beefy Miracle

The Fedora community has voted on the name for the next major release of this Linux distribution.

There were some 2,204 votes cast for the winner...

Verne

Yes, Verne.

I personally had thought that, Beefy Miracle would win, but that name only ended up with 1,662 votes. Beefy Miracle had been making a name for itself with an active Twitter feed that I have enjoyed following.

There is also a project page supporting the campaign for Beefy Miracle. I've never seen so much effort and marketing going behind a potential name.

It's a real shame that it didn't win.

But why didn't it win? Is it a question of Fedora voters not wanting to 'relish' in the Beefy Miracle name? Or am I missing something and is Verne cooler?

Maybe the idea is to go, Around the World in 80 days with Linux?
