FreeRadius should always be called FreeRadius. It's almost a brand name,

I agree the new stuff in FreeRadius needs way more attention. Virtually
no one i know associates Free_Radius_ with VMPS, nor DHCP.
I'd avoid the word "free".
I'd agree. (Open- is taken too. What about Flex-"Something".)
How could this be organized, in the source tree or elsewhere? A new
server core maybe called Flex-"Something" without any knowledge of
RADIUS, DHCP or the like? An "add-on" package called FreeRadius, another
called FlexDHCP? Kind of confusing, there must be a better way.
Whenever I think of Flex, I think of Flex-LM... and that's not a good
association :(
I know it's all 1980sish but we could bring back Synergy.
"syn⋅er⋅gism
–noun
1. the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that
is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions, etc."
It actually fits what FreeRADIUS is moving towards; lots of protocols working
together to provide control of a network.
SyNC - Synergous/Synchronous Network Control, also reads as (Sync)
SyNAC - Synergous/Synchronous Network Access Control
