WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg is Also Named for Bebo Valdes
Amid all the hubbub of the WordPress 5.0 release, did anyone notice that this milestone version was named for a jazz musician who is not Gutenberg?

WordPress Version 4.7 was released yesterday by the name of Sarah Vaughan and I could not be more thrilled. First Dinah Washington, then Billie Holliday and now “Sassy” Sarah! Now I can stop kvetching that WordPress doesn’t name enough versions after women. Thank you Mr. Mullenweg!
While Dinah, the WordPress version, doesn’t really match the range of this great singer, it tries.
It’s hard to imagine Matt Mullenweg’s logic when deciding what jazz musician to name a WordPress version for. All we know is that he and he alone makes the decision, and 99.9% of the time he picks a dude. Can we talk?
This spare, economical WordPress version is rather suited for Count Basie, since that is how he played.
WordPress has just turned 9 years-old, which may not a diamond jubilee but is still pretty impressive.
