This seems a little odd to me also.

(unless I am missing something) ..

EIP states a WireTap as

> The *Wire Tap* is a fixed *Recipient 
> List*<http://www.eaipatterns.com/RecipientList.html>with two output channels. 
> It consumes messages off the input channel and
publishes the unmodified message to both output channels.

whereas our current Multicast, is as it's name suggests, a multicast, which
although is not mentioned in EIP patterns (that I can see right now), is a
well understood pattern, networky etc etc.

Agree with Martin, the original name does seem so much more logical.
