No Gnus is the name of the current development version of Gnus. Previous
codenames include "Oort Gnus", "Pterodactyl Gnus", "Quassia Gnus", etc.

You can read more about it in the manual, or perhaps in a copy of the
manual available on www:

explaining the current thinking on the developement list somewhere; 
something like:
