Well, if you really want to get technical about it, i guess one could call
on the whole refactoring thing - automatically refactoring everything later
when we /know/ it'll change names anyway seems a little potentially breaky to
me, so that it would be better to get it done faster...
However, more mindshare oriented arguments would be that you'd preferably
want to avoid the confusion that renaming Rendezvous to Bonjour caused Apple
when they did that. We would really want people to know and remember the name
from the start.
Just my €.02 of course :)
