We had a nice discussion 'bout this on avalon-dev a while back. You can
read the thread at

This was about nondescriptive naming of packages inside a subproject
with a nondescriptive name inside a jakarta project with a
nondescriptive name, inside jakarta, which has a nondescriptive name.

Basically, it'd be nice to call Avalon "ServicesFramework4J", but its
not really fair to do so (Turbine's Stratum is also a
"ServicesFramework4J"), so we don't. Deal with it.

BTW, I've found that "hardcore coding" is absolutely _the_ place for
what you call "stupid names":

linux
GNU
Emacs
Bash
Less
Apache
Jakarta
Gnome
(...)

grz,

- Leo, typing a message inside Ximian Evolution, running on Red Hat
linux, not getting annoyed at any of those names
