Oh for fuck's sake more shitty names. Heartbleed was a great name and technical pun. Shellshock was boring. Meltdown is generic garbage. Spectre isn't even clever. "Skyfall", whatever it is, is even worse. Can we stop this race to the bottom please?https://twitter.com/11rcombs/status/953859524645015552 …

Spectre is fine. It includes the spec part of speculative execution, and invokes the sense that this will hang over our heads for a long time, as new aspects are discovered.

Replying to @ADoug
It's a terrible name that doesn't specify which of the speculative execution-related problems it refers to, and actually manages to refer to *two* distinct ones (with distinct CVEs). The "hang over our heads" aspect is specific to *one* of them.

Seriously, it's terribad. Also, vuln names should not be plain dictionary words. That's just dumb. Give things a compound name to avoid collisions.
