Still trying to figure out whether this is an April Fool's joke
that started two days ago, but I'd like to make a case for
boredom, three-piece suits (gray ones) propose:

         excalibur.system -> excalibur.container

If people were bewildered by the size of Excalibur before it
was split up, just consider a newbie surfing in on the Avalon
site and shaving to pick a subproject between:

  joust
  robberbaron
  fairmaiden

There is just no way that a newbie will be able to keep eveything 
in their head:

  "OK, so the Events in 'joust' go to the EventHandler that uses
   the ComponentManager from... uh... <look in docs> 'fortress'..."

Repeat the above for the poor maintenance programmer. K3w1 names 
are fine for entire projects where a descriptive name is either 
unmanageable or ends up being not really descriptive due to the scope:

      Excalibur -> LotsOfComponentsForAvalonFramework

But please do not extend this too far down the project hierarchy. It
makes the source code incomprehensible.

On another, more personal note, it will make it very difficult
for me to 'sell' Avalon internally: Having one cool codename is fine,
but if I were to list ten or more when briefing the CTO on what
I intend to do...

  ...I will be laughed out of the room.
  ...the Avalon project will get a 'geeks only' stamp on it.
