No, obviously, the next version will be called Newer Headless. Then you get the More Newer or Even Newer release. Or my personal favorite NewV2. /s

Using the word "new" in naming conventions is the most moronic and shortsighted way to name things in something that is quite obviously going to be changing in the somewhat near future.

New College is doing fine even with its name. It's just a name. Doesn't really matter.
Also New Forest.
It reminds me of "pont neuf"("new bridge" in French), which is the oldest bridge in Paris crossing the seine.
By all rights, it ought to be EvenLessHead. ~
