I don't see what George's attempt to point out that pure-phenix
questions should be asked in phenix bb (and the point itself may be
subject to different opinions) has to do with renaming Moscow streets
and subway stations (unless you thought that the proposition to rename
ccp4bb is serious).  

You do realize that most of the renamed streets existed prior to 1917
and were renamed by Bolsheviks at some point to honor the ideology and
group of people who committed the most massive atrocity in the history
of humankind?  The comprehensive list of renamed streets can be found
here

and except for occasional writer with anti-monarchy leanings or
anarchist we are talking about representatives of the first class mass
murder machine.  I sincerely hope you are not allergic to changing
Dzerzhinsky square back to Lubyanka (which name people used anyway).

Cheers,

Ed.
