    Why? Only "noo-gaa" is the right way

    I'm looking forward to this - I hope night mode works well enough across the system so I don't have to use a 3rd party app to tint & dim the screen, as the latter is rather hacky and is probably responsible for the phone slowing down like treacle in the evening. Last time it was previewed, there was mention of needing all apps to explicitly implement a night theme to their UIs.

    Never quite understood why they don't use a numbering system for releases.

    Nice to see that they managed to chose something that was meaningful outside of the US. Shame that they rejected Nutella though, be surprised if Ferrero would have kicked off about it, given the free publicity.

    At least they didn't choose one of the savoury options nor 'Napoleon'.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    Thank you - still not sure why a name though, as it only refers to the main version and not any revisions.

    However, I do recall Intel stopped referring to their CPUs as 80286, 80386, 80486 when the got to the 80586 series and called it the Pentium because that could be trademarked, and numbers couldn't.

    Thank you (I've fixed the http link).

    However, I did find the explanation rather sick making. (a pun on sweet, oh dear )
