	Then you are naive. The best product (Betamax,apple) can die
 out if absolutely no effort is made to promote it. And it is not as
 if we decided on a technically inferior naming scheme. 

	I don't see why you are making such a mountain out of this. In
 any case, your perception of the Projects purpose may not be relevant
 to the people who comprise the project. We think we can a quality
 free product without ignoring our commercial friends. (Oh, yes, we do
 have commercially inclined friends, though this may shock you).
