I won't say its impossible but its -very- hard to remove the bad connotations and bad history from a name without changing the name of the thing itself. Someone just the other day on the Phoronix forums was saying how they still don't trust RPMs because of RPM Hell all those years back.
The problems may have been fixed but the name remained and therefore the history remained.
