I have noticed, and I say this with all due respect, that the members of this Library Mailing List (LML) have on multiple occasions derailed otherwise useful conversations over the choice of a name, which is a wasteful use of our time and effort. Below is a rough sketch of how I believe this issue could be addressed. Phase 1: LML member proposes change to widely used library, such as base Phase 2. Proposal is declined by the LML as being sufficiently useful - do nothing Phase 3. Proposal is approved by the LML - members of LML, for a period of 3 weeks, each get up to 3 picks for a name. At the end of the 3 week period, the occurrence of each name is tallied. The name with the most tallies, becomes the name.
