	Yes, the names we currently have were long time ago bad and on-a-rush 
choices we made when we put our first release out the door, and 
unfortunately they stuck with our sources and our entire user base 
thereon. We have thought about migrating to something more meaningful 
as part of a somewhat large reorganization of our sources and 
distribution means, but anything we do on that front warrants careful 
thinking over and planning for obvious reasons (migration paths to keep 
users installations from breaking, for one) and therefore there is no 
immediate roadmap to something better.

	Maybe as part of 1.5...? I'm hoping ;-) Regards,...
