Thank you.

I love the alliteration but prefer the rhythm (the scanning) of
(Kernel/Coder/Kitchensink) (Da da Da da Da da Da) over that of
(Kernel/Coder/Carnival) (Da da Da da Da da da -- unless you speak
Portuguese). Of course, I do not think alliteration and rhythm need to
be the overriding criteria.
I don't much like "Carnival". I prefer "Kitchensink". I could live
with either. I also like "L1, L2, L3". I sympathize (but only
slightly) with Craig with regard to "code" and "coder" but do not feel
that (mechanic, writer, audience) is an improvement; I think it actually
communicates less well.
I am looking forward to a kernel which is the minimum that can load a
changeset from the command line. From that, all blessings flow and
thousands of load scripts can take it from there for fine-tuned
customization.
I'm sorry that I haven't been more help at picking the ideal names.
