You are right, of course. I could have sworn there were more. And I even use OpenNTPD on many systems.. The other acme-client projects seems to be mostly library implementations with a CLI frontend and are likely to end up as "ruby-acme-client" or similar in the tree. So "acme-client" should be perfectly fine. If anything we'll get to have a new bikeshedding round if another popular client with the same name comes around. :) ~marius
