I'm sorry, but you seem to be confused. I'd never in a million years expect Theo to rename the actual project! That's not a possibility, period. How could you even think such a thing?! Re-read my posts. "Does anyone else ever wish the B in BSD stood for something else?" That's just my humble opinion, wanting to see if anyone else feels the same way. I'm also a very big fan of the "shut up and hack" philosophy, and it's one of the reasons OpenBSD is my favorite OS. I haven't contributed to it yet (even though I have a very long history of opening up my wallet for things I believe in, and perhaps I could contribute in other ways as well) precisely because of the political atmosphere that replies to this conversation have been a perfect example of.
