That is an awesome second interpretation. Having voted on the original name I'm 100% biased so take my opinion with a huge grain of salt: on the one hand I think name changes are over rated (anyone remember ethereal?), on the other hand IMHO Mahout is a fairly strong brand representing machine learning at scale.
Maybe a combination of any of a new logo, design, documentation, release that drops the zero in "0.x.y", a press release for that release that Sally can help you with, a new front page that publishes the new focus of development, maybe a few snippets on that shift in focus that editors can use, dropping deprecated code would already go a long way... Just some random ideas. Isabel Am 25.
