That's... a stretch. If you aren't familiar with beefymiracle.org and
have never seen the site before, you would be hard pressed to honestly
admit that you see the artwork inspiration from the _name_ "Beefy
Miracle".
I believe the F17 artwork was essentially a last ditch effort to adhere
to something that really wasn't themable aside from slapping a giant
hot dog on the screen. It wound up being rather tasteful (no pun
intended) and well done, but "inspired" would be pushing it.

I wasn't just to be clear. I recognize there is a conflict and only
wanted to encourage the consideration of decoupling the two things
rather than ask the community to pick a kind of tea every 6 months
which I can't help but think will spoil the fun of the release naming
process. But maybe a good way for both to work together will come out
of the process too.

I may have missed it, but are there actual numbers of the poll results,
beyond 'many people do like' ?

Well originally we didn't really have much in way of theming the
release with the code-name. That was an expectation made later when we
had some easy to theme codenames. Then we ran into a patch of hard to
do code-names (Sulphur, Cambridge, Constantine, Beefy Miracle,
Laughlin, Lovelock) where in the end designs were hard to come up with
at time.

550 Keep release names (possibly changing how they're chosen)
384 Stop having release names

My guess is that if the poll had been split into a 3 way the first
choice would have been "split" leading to the conclusion that Stop
having release names was more wanted than Keep Release Names or
"Change How Release Names Are Chosen".

Thanks for sharing the data.
Note that you could vote 0, 1 or 2 for either (or both) categories. I voted 1
for each since I didn't have a strong opinion either way.
