I question "most".  I think it's just a marketing ploy.

That would be much more logical.  It took me a while to figure out why
people were talking about stray cattle here.

At least we can be thankful that Apple is (so far) fairly consistent.
Unlike Windows where they can't decide whether to use numbers (3.1, 8),
years (95, 2000), or names (XP, Vista).  :-)

0% chance they would ever use that one.

Ocelot was always the name of the next unreleased version :)

Technically a Cougar and a Mountain Lion are the same animal, so they
could use Cougar for a very minor update to Mountain Lion, but not
really for a full version number update.  :-)

Some german too...
Especially since Stefan changed the keyboard handling last month.
Finally! I begged him for months to do that. MacBook keyboards no longer
sport an enter key, which was very essential for fast reading. Now you
can also use the key above the right shift and left of the return key to
achieve that function.

Go grab the new version 2.8.4 here:
