Recent posts here indicate that the Epoch/Lucid Emacs merge will be
released in the not-too-distant future.  So what will it be called?  Will
it be Lepoch, Epocid Emacs, Epumacs, Elumacs...?

I vote for Lepoch, but it will probably be called:

"That &^*&)*(&( piece of **@*@*#*@* just hosed my system and deleted
my files"

This has yet to be determined; our marketing folks pretty much insist that
the word Lucid be in there.  For a while Simon and Chuck were calling it
ERA (Emacs Rewritten Again) but that's a misnomer, since you'd hardly call
it a rewrite.  I think now they want to call it "Lepoch", which I'm also
not real fond of.  Lucid Emacs Plus Epoch Redisplay = LEPER.

I think that some day there should be an editor call NECROMACS: The Editor
of the Dead.  This would be cool because the manual would then logically
be called the NECROMACSICON.
