Picking a name clearly needs to be carefully decided if that's
going to be a new brand...
And since you bring up the versioning thing, if I were voting on
the Java's new "improved" versioning also based on a
<yy>.<mm> versioning scheme, I would give it -1000 as
well. What a nightmare! I asked at Donald Smiths talk at
EclipseCon: "What if the release slips by a month, might 18.4 end
up being the next Java version" and the answer was "yes." So one
can't really anticipate with 100% confidence the next version
number of Java. Perhaps semantic versions are completely
irrelevant because of course in 2101 we'll want to release Java
101.3 along with Eclipse 101.6, or we should assume long term
irrelevance...

of people will download Eclipse Photon next June. How do
you explain them that the next download, also called
"Photon" according to your proposal, is not the same old
thing?
I think this needs to be discussed more broadly. I
though that once we pick a name - we stick with it and then ever
only add a version number (like year.something).
