not to me, they sound confused. 1, 2, 3, 3.1, 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP, 
Vista, 7. That is a complete and utter mess, far from progressive it 
totally fails to form any kind of coherent progression.

Well Oneiric Ocelot is a big cat name, although I suspect "Oneiric" will 
perplex and befuddle the vocabulary challenged. Anyhow, once released it 
should in theory be referred to by the release number, e.g. Ubuntu 11.04.
