Hi Clint, This is done in collaboration with Joshua Harlow and the task flow team who come up with the original proposal. We had a hangout session where we defined a project scope and its relationship with task flow library.
We cant use name Convection as this is a trademark owned by Microsoft. We saw the naming problems with Quantum, so we decided to pick up a name which is not associated with any IT company.
