== pronouncebale machine names ==

I understand that sabdfl specifically requested 5-character machine names in MAAS (rather than MAC or IP based names like AWS).

I'd like to make an additional request from a usability perspective... Can we please make the MAAS machine names pronounceable? It's really, really difficult to talk about machines in a cluster when the name is "kslnw" or "xpxrqm".

Here's a suggestion:

$ sudo apt-get install wamerican
$ shuf -n 1 /usr/share/dict/american-english | sed 's/[^a-zA-Z]//g'

That gives much more readable, though still random, machine names. That dictionary has 100K words in it. There's also wbritish, wcanadian. See the scowl source package or http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/ for more information.
