From a lurkers point of view, i would say Stephen is right. Many layers of names that don't help classify what the refer to make it hard to learn and weaken the overall branding of Apache / Avalon. Avalon is already somewhere close to having too many (or perhaps it already does).

But I think this is a really bad idea. "AptSnarf" is about as
meaningful as "StickItInYourEar". At least "FTP" should appear
in the name - why ... because anyone browsing around Avalon should
be able to spot the fact that its an FTP server. As for Apache not
doing plain - maybe Apache should re-think their approach to
communicating value.
Cheers, Steve.
