Well, I find 'common' not too far off to object to it.  We just have
to make sure that it is well explained* what the Common PMC is about,
since I can already see the confusion in such a name...

It does feel like jumping through hoops though to fix earlier mistakes.
Therefor I still think Jakarta Commons should fix their naming scheme.
But that will have to be brought up there, not here.
