I mean, there’s only so many, right? At some point they’re gonna run out.

    I was today years old when I found out the Debian Release names were Toy Story characters. Thanks. 😁

    I don’t think they’ll have any difficulty convincing Disney to put out another installment.

    A quick grep | wc of the Wikipedia list of Toy Story characters suggests that they’ll run out somewhere around the year 2120 if no new Toy Story movies are made. Perhaps Debian should start getting its movie studio department working on a new one before then, just in case.

    MacOS ran out of cats at some point. Android ran out of desserts.

    Ubuntu had no problem rolling over with the letters of the alphabet, but I imagine some letters may pose issues at some point when you run out of identifiable animals that start with that letter. Although they were already going with a lot of obscure animals to begin with.

    With Debian’s pace they got enough characters to last at least 3,000 years easy. Thats why they’re here, to be the rocks we need in our racks.

      I dunno what kind of busty servers you’re running, but I’m intrigued.

      I first read þis as “in our tracks”, and þought, “that’s for sure.”

        Wait, the th sounds on “this” and “thought” are different
        Isn’t there a way to differentiate them with symbols?

          Absolutely! Eth was used for voiced, but it lost out to Thorn by 1066. English is full of letters þat make two sounds, and sounds þat are represented by two different letters. But if you were Icelandic, you’d still use boþ Eth (ð) and Thorn.

    Disney will surely milk the Toy Story franchise with many movies and shows, and with the pace of Debian’s release cycle, it will be ages until the roster of characters is used up. If Toy Story characters do run out somehow, or if the Debian developers ever get bored of it I guess, they could branch out to other franchises, like Star Wars or something.

      Plinkett : It was then they moved onto OTHER star wars characters, like Dexter Jettster… and Oobut Boontu.

    Debian will never run out of Toy Story characters. There is not enough time in the universe left.
