Name the Protocol Version 12 hard fork “von Bergen“

On-chain governance action (Info Action).

This info action proposes naming the Protocol Version 12 hard fork “von Bergen” as a salute and recognition to Fabian von Bergen, also known as Zyroxa.

Fabian has been a Cardano community member since the ITN, an always critical, honest and sound voice in Cardano's past who introduced and guided many through the Cardano ecosystem, a well known person on the Cardano Forum, also SPO of the Tempus Stake Pool and a Cardano Ambassador since the earliest days of the program.

Fabian was a good friend, honest and kind, and we miss him. If you ask me, his name belongs in Cardano's history. 🖤

I see naming hard-forks for fallen contributors in tribute as an easy decision and worthwhile endeavour.

As there are others who have also passed recently, I will note that my future decisions will also be to support other such memorial namings in the same manner.

I find value in honoring our community members that have spent countless hours and for many years in helping the protocol grow and continue on. I VOTE YES

I support naming the Protocol Version 12 hard fork “von Bergen” without hesitation.
The fact that Cardano chooses to honour long-standing community contributors in this way is one of the ecosystem’s quiet strengths, and something we should continue to uphold. Fabian von Bergen (Zyroxa) was part of the community from the ITN days. He contributed with quiet diligence, humility, and consistency. Thoughtful yet clear in his views, he never softened his words for convenience and never stepped back from difficult conversations, always meeting the community as his genuine self.
These are exactly the qualities a healthy and lasting ecosystem needs. Naming the hard fork after him is more than a personal tribute. It ensures that future participants reading the ledger and the history of Cardano will know that someone of real substance once stood among us.
May the name “von Bergen” remain a lasting reminder that this community remembers those who truly contributed.

The discussion on DRepTalk helped me understand this GA a bit better. Thanks!
