CockroachDB 1.0

I think the fact that the name isn't milquetoast is a huge bonus. People are caught off guard by the name, which gets them thinking about it.

I think the dismissal that business people won't look at it because of the name is purely opinion-based. But what do I know?

If the name were Milquetoast it would be awesome, because that was the cockroach from Bloom County. Or, was that the joke and I'm only just getting it late? ;)

Zerg players will love the name. And there might be a small intersection, somewhere, between business people and Starcraft amateurs.
