Projects are free to change the name of a component whenever they like. Changing the name of a TLP requires board approval. There are obviously several things to be taken into consideration when considering a name change including: - how well know is the current name - impact on existing users - Maven artefact names - searching for old name - changes to build systems to use new name - bunch of other stuff I haven't thought of - effort required be dev community - update code - update website - update Jira + other supporting systems - bunch of other stuff I haven't thought of - benefits of the change I haven't seen much discussion of the relative pros and cons of this change so far.
