As said, I don't consider 'OpenOffice.org' (the product name) as an well established product name among our user base. The established name people use is 'Open Office'/'OpenOffice' and as such, this is a valid reason for me to change this part of the name to the name we planned to use in the beginning of the 'Open Office' project. - Kai
