Why should we? As I understand it, this is the name of a specific package of Perl stuff; at most, the "MDV" part is only a name tag (it's not a registered trademark, barely a brand either) and it shows some inheritance from MandrakeSoft/Mandriva days, because that's how the software package was named at the start. As Hoyt points out, it would be more relevant to change the tag if/when/once this code base grows independantly from the original one. If that is to be expected, yes, that may be good enough a reason to rename; but that may not be really urgent for this release? Romain
