Why Ubuntu 24.04 is called the Noble Numbat ?

There could be several reasons why the Ubuntu community has chosen "Noble Numbat" as the official Mascot for Ubuntu 24.04. But here are my opinions.

Australian Connection: Ubuntu's development team often chooses codenames related to Australian animals, reflecting the country's unique biodiversity.

Symbolic Significance: The numbat, a small marsupial known for its distinctive stripes and termite-eating habits, can symbolize resilience, adaptability, and a unique niche in the ecosystem. These qualities align with the goals of Ubuntu's long-term support releases, which are designed to be reliable, stable, and suitable for a wide range of use cases.

Community Engagement: The choice of codename is often influenced by community input and suggestions, and "Noble Numbat" likely resonated with the Ubuntu community.

By selecting "Noble Numbat" as the codename, the Ubuntu development team aims to create a memorable and meaningful identifier for this important release.
