It isn't necessarily being abandoned. It's still a viable name (my
personal favorite, but then I'm the one that came up with it.). This is
just a brainstorming session for other possibilities.
Personally, I think the objections of "Deity" are insufficient to choose
a different name. It's not that I disrespect the opinions of those who
don't like it, but it's just not possible to please everyone. I'm 100%
certain that if we were tying to name the entire distribution, there
would be objections to both "Debian" _and_ "Linux". For what reason,
I don't know, but there is _always_ somebody who doesn't like it. But
since both of those names are entrenched, everybody seems to think they're
just fine.
