Will there be bonus points for predicting the actual version number?

I vote for Version 12.3 (PV has made interesting jumps before :-) )
to be released on

Sweetmorn, Discord 48, 3174 YOLD

I guess this because if PV releases on this date he can time it to steal
the thunder from Theo Deraadt's release of OpenBSD 4.3.

(This happened to Fedora with the release of 8, it was on the top of the
Distrowatch list for about 20 minutes before someone else (OpenSuse?)
dropped a carefully timed Development release notice on top of it.

I live close by, so for me access to those won't really be a problem.

Hmmm, those I'd have to make arrangements for.

But will it be the unlucky Slackware 13?

In which case I have to go with Friday June 13, 2008.
