The problem with leaving it as "gfsh" is that you already have a "gfsh" symbol link that points to a _gemfire_ installation. If you name the geode shell distribution as "gfsh", then when you need to switch from geode to gemfire you will have to have a mechanism to overwrite or update the _gemfire_ shell "gfsh" with the _geode_ shell "gfsh". Then when you go back to geode you will need a reverse mechanism to update the _geode_ shell "gfsh" with the _gemfire_ shell "gfsh". This is what I face daily and why I named it something other than "gfsh", which installs in the bin directory.
I just want everyone to understand the ramifications of keeping it the same name for those of us who use both.
