For those wondering.

  What's an Aylesbury? It's a breed of duck. We like
  ducks, so we plan to use duck-related names for
  each major libvpx release, in alphabetical order.

Aylesbury is a sleepy dormitory town in Buckinghamshire near where I grew up and is famous for very little except giving its name to a breed of duck. I was pretty surprised to see a codec named after it.

Probably more important:

  Our goal is to have one named release of libvpx
  per calendar quarter, each with a theme.
