Since the consensus was for renaming tempest and making tempest the library name, which wasn't really feasible, I opened up a survey to poll everyone on the which name to use: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RLLZRGJ The choices were taken from the initial list I posted and from the suggestions which people posted based on the availability of the names. I'll keep it open for about a week, or until a clear favorite emerges. -Matt Treinish
