We already tried to come up with some names. I can't find the thread
but things like GELPA and such were proposed.
Regarding REL, it's not a bad name, but sounds a bit like RHEL, the
RedHat Enterprise Linux distribution. So it could be confusing.
I'm out of ideas at this point... I feel like I'm just nay-saying all
the suggestions, so please don't consider my opinion too carefully :)
Whatever the name, I'll try to use it consistently.
Thanks
Ted
