Unless I'm greatly mistaken, the significance is that the Pixar
connection is why "buzz" was the codename that was chosen - and why
every single Debian release codename since then has also been the name
of a character from the Toy Story series.


I think this might have been slightly clearer if the grouping etc.
punctuation had been different. The best I've come up with on short
notice is something more like:

>>> The end result was that Debian jumped straight to 1.1 and a new

That's probably not enough of an improvement in clarity etc. to justify
the energy and attention *I*'ve spent on it, however, never mind the
same from Andrew.
