To be perfectly honest with you, I always liked the 'Quantum' name more. With the ongoing release cycle called 'Newton', my hatred for the 'Neutron' name has increased, since I keep mispronouncing with 'Neutron' and vice versa. Therefore I can't express my gratitude enough for this well timed proposal. You got my +2, though you got get behind governance change [1] first. Happy hacking!
