This is getting somewhere--now if we can come up with a positive, rather than negative name, we'd be perfect.
Pretty much the best kinds of project names are ones that are either expressly positive (i.e. their name assumes good faith, doesn't create an us/them dichotomy), or failing that are ironicly ugly (like "bureaucrat", "benevolent dictator", or "spelling nazi" or "mediation cabal").
So "campaign to slaughter all vandals" (CSAV) would be acceptable? :)
Now you're getting the idea, but "Holy Crusade to Slaughter All Vandals (Because God Is On Our Side)" would be better.
