Hi Niclas, 

have to admit that I didn't quite understand your suggestion.

    My two cents; you could recommend that companies that has commercial
    support to use a unique name on their offering/landing page that gets
    picked up by search engines and let the general public know what that word
    is...
    
    When I personally am looking for this for project Foo, then "foo -site:
    apache.org" is the starting point. And that could be smoother.
    
    
    Cheers
