[Qgis-psc] Idea: rename 3.42 to "Denali"

[Lior Kaplan]

I think this would be a wrong decision on our part.

First, it's an internal American naming conflict.
While we might not like the decision, it's his to make (as Obama did in the
opposite direction in 2015)

GDAL refers to an international dispute. But notice GDAL's naming was just
mentioned on the release
email to the dev mailing list, it's not part of the release notes, change
log or anything on GitHub.
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2025-February/060253.html

It's a protest, but a very internal one to GDAL.

What this thread suggests in putting this issue on the splash screen for 5
months.

The naming scheme we have so far makes sense for our community,
encouraging the developer gathering and complementing on the effort with
release naming reward.

I think it's a beautiful mechanism, which we should not change so easily.
