  "dex" is also the file extension for Dalvik VM bytecode files, and "Pokedex" is for keeping lists of Pokemon, "Roladex" is yet another product for keeping lists of people, and it means "dexterity" in role playing games, but nobody is getting confused with CoreOS's thing.

    I have literally no idea why I'm getting downvoted for pointing out something with the same name. I just figured it added value to the "dex" convo. I realize it isn't going to confuse people as it is vastly different. It is still relevant as it has the same name, even if you downvote me.

      It is probably because you seem to be unaware of rolodexes, which is what everyone used to manage contacts before computers, and the source for all the "dex" naming trends: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolodex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolodex

        I was born in the early 80s, can confirm, am aware of a Rolodex :)
