My POV:

* The wikipedia page on “Vanilla” shows that the name is perfect from a 
technical POV. It really represents what we want.
* I think most of our users are non-tech and wouldn’t understand it since I 
don’t think the “Vanilla” terminology is that common outside of tech circles

So I agree that it’s a fun proposal but we’ll get users asking us frequently 
why we chose an ice-cream flavor for an XWiki flavor ;)

Thus I’m also hesitating but I think I’m more -0 since “XWiki Vanilla" sounds 
more like a code name than a real name. I think that I still prefer “Standard” 
or “Default” ATM (with a small preference for “Standard” which has a bit more 
meaning than “Default” for me). Now if everyone else prefers “Vanilla”, I 
wouldn’t oppose it, as I also find it fun and to the point.

Thanks
