Marketing. 
Pharo does not change his name when running and then you would have a dock, 
main window, etc. exposing a horrible technical name.
Exposing technical details as names can look cool in first instance, but the 
same as the java vm is not named 
“hotspotJitWithALotOfDetailsWhichIDoNotRemember” and the python vm is not 
called “pythonBasedOnLLVM”, there is not real reason to use a technical name 
for us either.

so… we took the names Pharo and PharoS because people should use regularly 
Pharo, and when they do not have another chance, a PharoS (which can be 
interpreted as a “Pharo Stack” if you know the technical details, but also as 
“Pharo Small” or “Pharo Stripped” if you are not… and you have a but of 
imagination :) ).
