On another point, frankly the name of whichever project I might be contributing to is the *least* important thing that energises me and, frankly, I think that the way some people have suggested that editors would cease to contribute en masse to a particular project should its name change is completely wide of the mark.
Names are, however, important. Consider the tragedy of Usenet group comp.windows.news ...
Having an inappropriate name for a project will affect that project adversely.
I do understand your and Erik's point, but there's got to be a way to do this, should it be considered desirable, without alienating the volunteer base. Much like putting ads on the site.
