Droids seems to be a really easy shepherding assignment. They are on the watch list for low activity, they are self-aware of this, and they are having a conversation with the commons TLP about perhaps becoming a component there. I don't know if there is any contribution any of the rest of us could

Ted, I did read the whole thing, and I'd like to join you in drawing a curtain in front of the man. The proposers of this project didn't create the problem of the term 'linked data', and they can't fix it. As you suggest, all they can do is pick a TLP name that is neutral to positive in relation
