No, it really shouldn't. This would be a terrible signal to the
community that WSO2 is still a dominant presence in the community, which
is exactly contrary to the signal you want to be sending. As my friend
Karsten has been known to say, that's "community repellant." 

I'd really encourage the community to not only break from the color /
visible identity, but to choose a new name and let WSO2 keep the name
they've already built up value for and let the community pick a new name
without the history of WSO2's brand. 

Best,
