[Evan Dandrea <evan.dandrea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We discussed this a bit further on the standup call. I raised the
prospect of having a single source tree for all of the components
under http://launchpad.net/ciengine, and that was quickly and firmly
shot down (I can still see Vincent violently shaking his head in the
back of my mind :-P). Chris and others on the call felt that it would
be much more manageable and reflective of the structure of component
nature of the project to have separate projects/branches for each
piece.

When we got to discussing having separately named components, Paul
pointed out that we often won't know the complete shape of what we're
building or prototyping from the outset. He said in past projects they
started with a name that they had to rework over time for this reason.

So I suggested to the agreement of the call that we just pull from the
top of the codename list whenever we have something to in need of a
temporary name, with the intent of moving to something that actually
conveys what the thing is as that becomes more clear.
