Can't wait for the funny ones to start calling it Awful Aardvark.

Pretty cool name, tbh.

Arthritic Archaeopteryx was taken?

Wifi configuration via Stick&Surf would be cool and i also would like to see a dnssec by default resolver config that plays nice with captive portals.
Fedora wanted to do this last year.

Joking aside, archeopteryx wouldn't qualify, even if it wasn't extinct or a mouthful of a name. I'm not 100% sure, but I think Ubuntu is only named after African animals; archeopteryx was discovered in Germany.

Can we call him Arty for short? Arty Aardvark!

So then my old standby "Itchy Inchworm" still has a chance if I'm remembering my species distributions correction.

Should be named Butthurt Baboon to honour those who cried a river when Gnome were back as default.

Someone needs to work on their alphabet (and not trolling).

I find "artful" rather silly as a name, with so many better Absurd Alliterations Available.
