This comment has nothing to do with the name of RRPE.

"Name change reminds me a practice in Turkey, as well as in many less developed
countries. ... We also witness country name changes in Africa and Asia. This
reminds me an underdeveloped mentality. I for one strongly oppose to a practice
of name change for following reasons: ... it breaks historical continuity."

What if "historical continuity" was not desirable? In India many streets  and
buildings were named after British generals and blood suckers. We don't want to
keep those names for the convenience of the mail person. We want to change
them. In Canada or the USA you could name the whole country after queen
Victoria or Dundas or whatever, I don't care. But in India Clive's name has got
to go. And, of course, we have "underdeveloped mentality" because our head is
smaller than yours. Didn't you know!
