If Kexi or Krita was dead already for 10+ years I see no problem and I
see n o reason why I'd have (and how?) to 'block' the name. Especially
that Kexi is a popular name in China.

Come on, as we mentioned the project is abandonware now. Or maybe will
this move also hurt xabacus?
Even if yes or if the abacus spreadsheet was vital, I feel a need to
define limits to this 'correctness' and be consistent, see that Words
breaks the law too: equally 'popular' app (as the Abacus) is called
Words and yet it is _more_ alive: http://freecode.com/projects/words.
There is also http://freecode.com/projects/plan and
http://freecode.com/projects/spread.

In order to be nice one can ask given project maintainer(s) in subject
to see if they care. It's now turn of Tables contributors, also your,
Sebastian as through contributions you're obviously entitled to decide
while I was entitled to propose. So to be constructive I proposed (not
decided in any way) some option that somewhat match and can be spelt
correctly by most people. Please do so and everyone will be happy
because the best way to pick a name is to hear it from contributor in
the first place. I am sorry for misunderstanding and using vote
instead of poll term.
