Well, someone has to bring it up so....

As we have been documenting more and discussing the provisioning work with 
more and more people the fact that we don't really have a name for the 
provisioning work has become quite cumbersome.  We have to say things like 
"With the Equinox provisioning support..." etc.  We can't just take the 
term "provisioning" as we are not the only provisioning game in town 
(e.g., if we are provisioning, what is Maya?).  And even then, 
"provisioning" is long.  We need snappy!  Why?  'Cause we are snappy! 
Before the current effort went public we had a round of discussion on 
names and, well, there were several suggestions but in the end we 
essentially decided to be the effort that had no real name to start.

So, without getting into a huge process or debate about it, we would like 
to informally solicit suggestions with the aim of coming to a conclusion 
by next Monday's conf call and executing the rename by M2.  We started a 
wiki page to capture any suggestions there may be.  See
        http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_Provisioning_Naming

Happy thinking
Jeff
