[ros-users] ROS L-Turtle Naming Thread

[Devon Ash]

To spice things up, I'm still going to propose Leonardo Lion with these
four points to counter the four points above:

1. A Lion robot hasn't been made yet, and we're doing futuristic work with
goals and ambitions such that our operating system will run a lion
2. We can keep all the old turtle references. But in the future start
making Lion references to show newness, and a vibrancy for the future of ROS
3. Lions have always been symbols of courage and pride in the work from all
of history
4. If ROS is the Lion, then we are the lion tamers. I'd say we're all a
pretty smart bunch
