The story of how this all started was when we 'signed the purchase order' for the original Clueless server back in 2000, [http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2000-06-16/ this this was the Dilbert comic at the time]. And then naming servers with names ending 'less' never stopped!
===Note....===
The naming scheme was originated in the year 2000, at which point Dilbert was a barely-known niche cartoon for nerds. Scott Adams was only known for Dilbert, and for nothing else.
A&A currently has many dozens of server names ending in ~less, and only one, "clueless", was ever actually part of a comic strip. The rest were originated by simply looking for words with that suffix.
The naming scheme works well for A&A, and migrating to a new one would be a lot of work, for no benefit, and carrying some risk to operations.
For the avoidance of doubt, A&A does not condone the views of Scott Adams.
