Much easier to change the name before incubation. It’s not so much code as all the infrastructure (mailing lists, git repos, web servers, svn files, …) that goes along with a podling. It’s a lot of work for INFRA and for the PPMC/champion.
Also, branding. Calcite entered incubation as ‘Optiq’ and then renamed, but not before it had appeared in a few conference talks; people are still asking me ‘What happened to Optiq?'
