I find something in this irresistibly funny. On the one hand, most of us 
recognize it as a favorite of the marketing babble crowd. The word 
itself simply means a good model to emulate. Anyone willing to create a 
new distro must at least half-believe that of their project, or they 
won't bother. At the same time, choosing that as part of the name seems 
a subtle attempt to say, "We don't take ourselves that seriously."

I'll vote for that.
