Hi,

Just now it might be the right time to change the name we have been
using for years 'YaST'. It seems we (and our users) still consider this
name being somehow 'geeky' [0].

Why should we do that :)? Well, I've found that people still don't know
how to write it and similarly as a language evolves, we could follow our
users and make it easier for them. Currently several mutations are in
use: 'YaST', 'Yast', 'yast', 'YAST', ...

The change could be trivial 'YaST' -> 'YAST' (because it is an
abbreviation).
We could compare the proposed change to 'SuSE' -> 'SUSE' (currently
'openSUSE', of course).

Bye
Lukas

       self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by
