I second this.  Perhaps then we should call it !evil (that's a logical 
not for those of you that dipise C).  =)

Seriously, folks, I don't see why we need a name yet.  Its not anywhere 
near relase, so it won't do much in terms of positive things.  Instead, I 
say we call it Joy as a temporary name, and move to something else after 
the system has been semi-created.  I mean, how hard can it be to change a 
few splash screens?  =)

Just my $0.02....
