Hi,
Changing the name isn't really optional or "being google-able" [2]. The naming is a crucial part of trademark protection [1], which is the only protection ASF has against hostile Embrace & Extends. Fragmented forks with the same name is particularly bad, especially if the feature in question can be only used by a proprietary tool (like Dain's suggestion about Presto view metadata, except it only works with a per-cpu license). The safe path isn't pretty, it still ends up with IcedTea and IceWeasel … but at least, those are clearly weird.
