@Derf, etc...
You know, it's a good thing that not everyone has your mindset (very few actually), and that everyone is actually able to raise and discuss any issue at free will. It turns out that quite a few people agrees that the "A" naming scheme is a really bad idea, like I *knew* people would, and many have sent e-mails to A-eon about this. This obviously opened their eyes to such a degree, that now when the actual voting starts, they have gone from four voting options to *twelve*, of which only the first four is "A" options (and a few rather strange "AX" options for some reason). Other than those, there are "X" (the most logical one), "P" (the second most logical one, at least if followed by CPU model number), and "Q". Don't really understand that last one, but maybe that's just me.
Anyway, here are the options:

From discussions in this thread and elsewhere, I suppose the voting will result in them keeping the "X" naming scheme (which is a good idea IMHO), alternatively "P".
If not going with the "X" like in Option 12 for example, then the best option IMHO would be an "Option 13", meaning Option 12 but "P" instead of "X". That would simply be the CPU model names:
- P3041 (I have no idea about the logic behind the "3500" that is in several of the options instead of 3041)
- P5020
- P5040
Almost immediately after the slide was shown it was already being discussed that the existing model numbers shouldn't be re-used for various reason.
I think the X scheme makes most sense since that's where A-EON started but A5000 be less offensive to you since it was never used on models produced by Commodore, Escom or Quickpac?
Q would be because the processors are all from the QorIQ series.
