I like "*"... it has more personality than "lite". (Or even "light".)
Though since it's a subset, we could always call it "Rakudo ⊂"!

You mean call it "Rakudo Ruby" because Ruby has only part of the
features of P6? We could name interim releases after competing brands
as they get left behind: Rakudo Ruby, Rakudo Python, Rakudo P5....
(We're already too late for "Rakudo PHP", I'm afraid.)

Perhaps it's worth asking what we might call the release after that

"Rakudo not-quite-so-lite"?
Rakudo ** (aka "Rakudo Exponentiation")? Though I think Patrick is
optimistic that development will proceed exponentially enough that a
single interim release will be enough to hold us over until Christmas.
