The next release will then be the Yellow Submarine :)

We've also considered to name toolchain releases after food. So for example if gcc-4.3.2 would be spagetti, binutils-2.18 would be tomatos, glibc-2.8 would be mincemeat; so a release from these components could be called the "spagetty bolognese" release, which would definitely be better than gcc-4.3.2-glibc-2.8-kernel-2.6.26-arm-v4t-linux-gnueabi.

The problem comes up if you upgrade binutils to the 2.19 "pickled herring" revision. The resulting toolchain could have some compatiblity issues with our users then :)
