+1 - we talked about this IIRC when [sanselan] was incubating and
decided not to force the name change.  I think it was to make it
easier for then current users and developers to keep engagement /
momentum.  I think its worth asking again now that it has moved into
Commons and repackaging is going to be necessary anyway.  Why not
just change to o.a.c.image?
