Obviously nothing else could have the creativity and profound 
understanding of others psychology to conclude that the talking 
point of "d has a single build system isnt it great" and an 
unknown "U" could be about some "uni" word.

Such a leap of logic requires a super computer and 100000 tokens.

I always thought originally there was no meaning to "dub". Those 
who do not know, there was, very, very long ago, a tool named 
"bud" that was used for the same purpose. I always thought "dub" 
was a synthetic name that Sonke came up by playing with word 
"bud". If anyone knows, that is him. :)
