Have you ever seen the path of destruction a kitten can leave behind? 
Especially their urine - that stench of god awful and impossible to get
out of fabric!  I would completely resent any mention of kittens in any
GNOME release.  Please do not use so-called "cute" animals in any
release name.  I suggest a release name that's completely neutral and
non-offensive.  Something like, "Vi rules; piss off, Emacs."  Thank you.
