I'd be quite happy if Tarek ignored the meta-drivel in this thread and made some
checkins, even if the project was named the empty string. You gotta realize
that fielding all these bikeshed emails takes a lot of time; if it gets named
"distribute" or one of the two options from the poll, so be it. Give the poor
man a mail-responding rest. ;-) There's all of eternity to bikeshed the name
after the first release, but a release is required for there to be anything to
bikeshed about.
