Atleast I do.

Hi! We're bikeshedding here, but I believe these names are better because it is absolutely clear what it means without _IN. Shorter name is better and easier to read I think. Could you please decide between the existing JMF rule names or the above proposed HOSTKARMA names? It seems opinions are split here. Please stick to JMF, its called like that for a long long time now. And there is installed base. Dont confuse people if its not needed. Thanks, Raymond.

JMF may have been a project name, but HOSTKARMA is an will be a brand. I still vote for HOSTKARMA.
