"Gold" would imply a premium product. Let's leave that one for
some enterprising soul who wants to do with the OS what Caldera
has done with Linux.

As for the "2000" bit: I'd be turned off by bad associations: 
Berke Breathed's "Banana 2000" (Ptui! ;-), the Y2K problem, and
Microsoft's product nomenclature.
