Now that you mention it, I have heard more than one person snort  
derisively about the name "easy_install", and say something to the  
effect that it isn't a proper name.  This makes me think that it  
causes the "anti-marketing-propaganda" reaction in some folks.

Considering the opinions expressed by others in this thread, I'm  
changing my mind and would not object to changing the name.
