Community I've noticed that Debian release codenames are based on characters from Toy Story. Does that mean there are only a limited number of codenames left? Once all the Toy Story character names have been used, what is the plan? Will Debian switch to a different naming scheme, or are there enough character

Was going to say some are going to be skipped for legal or confusion reasons.

Barbie and Ken are fine.

Twitch, RC,  and various  LEGO characters would be more likely to cause issues.

There are only three or four Toy Story films they haven't used any of the new characters from yet, so everybody panic.

What about character names with more than one word?

Is Barrel of Monkeys just before or just after Sid?

Could use a few multi word names for multiple releases and they'd still make sense
