Sure. Take the Porsche 911. Since 1967, there have been at least eight fundamentally different generations, from air-cooled to water-cooled engines, and from analog to digital systems, all under the same name. Every version introduced major changes, yet the continuity of the name helped preserve brand trust and accelerate acceptance.
Yes, some purists argued "a water-cooled 911 isn’t a real 911," but that never slowed adoption. The name bridged the gap between legacy and innovation, making it easier for the ecosystem — customers, media, engineers — to follow the evolution. Same principle applies here. "DKIM2" gives us continuity without locking us into technical legacy. / Tobias Herkula Von: Dave Crocker <[email protected]> Datum: Dienstag, 3.
