I think it's time. Nearly ten years ago, on a social medial platform long gone, I suggested the name "Roaring Lionus", which was in effect for v4.9. I'll be so bold to suggest a name again. I've been told I should try LLM for kernel development, so I think this is the perfect opportunity to submit my first ever patch assisted by LLM. I asked it to generate names that follow the established style, and among the candidates, I hand-picked "Free-Range Attack Penguin".
