If you want to see an up-to-date talk about this from John, he will be a speaker at http://dotscale.io on June 8!

Omega actually comes after Borg (hence the name). It's just that Borg was quite confidential until now. I'm pretty surprised they let the name slip.

The name was public since Omega was publicized. The paper itself is great, there's everything about Borg in one place (scheduling, quota, isolation, etc).

Ah, thanks! Updated my comment.

It is the other way: Omega was presented as the successor of Borg.
