I strongly support this.
More generally, I wish we would just stop using names for WGs
that are widely understood to mean something else in computer
science, software engineering, or networking. Despite good
intentions, it cannot be a mark of respect or homage when the WG
name overlays a term the refers to a particular invention or
development. At least IMO, the cuteness wears off very quickly
and only confusion or disrespect are left.
