Nope, just clarify the rules for *distinguishing* projects by name -- a much less ambitious goal, since it's pretty easy to do with little or no impact on existing projects.
A new naming convention isn't in scope, since it would require a "boil the ocean" renaming effort to implement, assuming you could get everyone to agree in the first place.
