I've talked to a lot of people about this concept.  Based on my experience I
want a name that I can say and people can get some idea of what I mean.
Then I can joke and say "code name Lollipop" and give out lollipops, but
first I need people to know what I'm talking about.  But Sugar on a Stick
has a ring to it and communicates.

If we want to name the release candidates lollipop-1 lollipop-2 etc. I'm ok
with that. I have no attachment to the acronym SoaS.  But the official
project name for Sugar on a Stick should stay "Sugar on a Stick".

Thanks,
Caroline
