Hi folks, let me ask a crazy question: would it make sense to *rename* the rsyslog project (like into something like "logrocket";)) ? I know it's totally crazy as it is well-known, but there is a lot of propaganda these days against syslog in general and folks like to bash at rsyslog because it is doing syslog.
Not only have the systemd folks declared that there is end of line for syslog, also the logstash community seems to aggressively market the fact that "syslog is the old legacy that logstash replaces". Plus, there is a lot of wrong information in all Wikipedias etc (and due to Wikipedia policy I can't even update it, as I am a stakeholder -- they prefer folks without knowledge of the field ;)). All around the Internet you find the smell of syslog being old style dinosaur technology. In spite of this... may it actually be worth going through the pains of a project name change? The alternative is to continue trying to convey that rsyslog is not only syslog and that syslog in itself is far from being dead... Feedback would be very welcome. Note that there is no immanent change, and I am actually hesitant to do it, bit I would really like to hear about your *feelings*.
