I'd point out the obvious issue of names and brand identity, even when not 
formally enunciated or applied, which is that trust is something that is

(Granted, part of the point of something like Tor is that it asks us to, uhm, 
trust but verify, but still….the caveats fall before the emptor's habits.)
