frankly all this zealot mails do not have any sense. 

first, SciSmalltalk is a project made fundamentally by Serge, and is Serge who 
has pointed he wants a change of name for something sexier… what is the 
problem? 
second, by discussing a nonsense (because is subjective and everybody has a 
different opinion) you are highjacking the real purpose of this mail: a call to 
the community to improve the numerical methods support in Pharo. 

So, please, can we stay cool and go back to discuss what is really important?

cheers,
Esteban
