We obviously want the opinion, but I would claim we are looking for an opinion less on aesthetics and more on whether or not the incubator or the board would have technical objections to this name choice. Would this choice prevent graduation, for instance (in which case a -1 is certainly warranted

Not only did we ask, we've asked more than once. We're going that extra mile to call a vote to resolve this issue specifically because there seems to be a wide range of opinion as to whether the name is acceptable to the incubator, and by implication, the board. It's quite clear that there's also

There may be trademark issues with Manifold, so although it enjoys support in the community, it may be unacceptable for that reason. Also, it was not the actual winner of the vote, and so we do need to go through the proper process, seems to me. If ACF is rejected, then we'll have to properly vet

Presumably, the PMC's job is to be the eyes and ears of the Board, so if project is doing something wrong, the PMC should let it know. In this case, the project specifically is asking for guidance from the PMC as to whether the name change is acceptable to the PMC and thus to the ASF, assuming
