You can bet.

FWIW sorry to say I have to agree
but well, this is another and too old story :)


Conectiva

Agree. It's renaming so not the right move.
Also people may ask "Why Conectiva? Why not any name among
https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/Quest_for_the_holy_name ?"

I had a look again at names there, if I had to chose one today in our
current situation and free from already existing projects troubles,
probably I'd chose Mana (well, my preference didn't go to it at that
time and not that I like now :) )

In my opinion Conectiva name is still toooo much Mandriva-related for
people who know Mandriva and Mandrake/Mandriva history and bankruptcy.
Others would not care neither of Conectiva nor of OpenMandriva.

Yes, maybe just OMALinux :)

I'm uncertain between the two.
In the ideal world we should be able to make the best choice, provide
some very sane reasons and ask for approval.
