We obviously want the opinion, but I would claim we are looking for an opinion less on aesthetics and more on whether or not the incubator or the board would have technical objections to this name choice. Would this choice prevent graduation, for instance (in which case a -1 is certainly warranted

Not only did we ask, we've asked more than once. We're going that extra mile to call a vote to resolve this issue specifically because there seems to be a wide range of opinion as to whether the name is acceptable to the incubator, and by implication, the board. It's quite clear that there's also

Presumably, the PMC's job is to be the eyes and ears of the Board, so if project is doing something wrong, the PMC should let it know. In this case, the project specifically is asking for guidance from the PMC as to whether the name change is acceptable to the PMC and thus to the ASF, assuming

I'm watching the "renaming" vote thread and I find it odd that folks are -1-ing the project's vote. I've read the role of the IPMC[1] and the policy[2] and can't find the basis for our (IPMC) doing anything other than ack-ing they're vote. It seems like votes from the IPMC should only be relevant
