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.
