I'm glad GNOME isn't going to be boring, but I don't find "Baboon"
particularly *exciting* and I'm not looking forward to saying it as
often as I say OLE now.  It actually sounds a bit self-deprecating. 
GOLEM even makes more sense - just as GNUS move in HURDS, it seems more
natural to pair a GNOME and a GOLEM than a GNOME and a Baboon.

I suppose this all seems too trivial to debate, but I think names are
actually very important.
