I would propose 2 names, Apache Ranger or Apache Armadillo, to replace the
current Argus name in the incubator.
Ranger signifies a person enforcing or protecting a resource ("park ranger")
which was the original intent of the current Argus project. Armadillo is a
mammal specific with tough shell or an "armor" to protect.

Conclusion - Both Ranger and Armadillo are good names, however Ranger does
seem to have a lower conflict as compared to Armadillo. If everyone is ok, we
can forward this to the Apache brand management.

Hi All,
Based on feedback from Apache brand management, as well as discussions in the
name search JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-54, I
feel that the Argus name will continue to carry concerns from the community in
the long run.
I propose that the Argus name be changed to some name more unique, will send
couple of options that I had in mind in another email.
Please let me know your thoughts
Balaji
