Yeah, you could call it GURPS d20, or Fudge20 :).

Seriously, though, I hope that this part of the gambit succeeds. Personally
I get bored running/playing fantasy all the time, but have difficulty
generating interest in other genres. I hope the increased accessibility of
the d20 core convinces more folks to run/play other genres.
