You don't really expect a project name to change this fast, don't

This doesn't sound any different than Subversion, what should be the
benefit in discussions etc.? One could only read the difference and
besides that, people who already (want?) to misinterpret "Subversion"
would easily think of simple spelling errors and stay with their
opinion.

But there will always be an idiot out there which takes things wrong,
maybe even on purpose.
