While thet change in names will not fix any societal issue, for a
product like SpamAssassin that relies heavily on plugins (including some
plugins that may have been developped locally, long time ago, by someone
who is not working there anymore) and that is
also embeded (like in amavis) these sort of changes may break a lot of
implementations, to the point that people will be reluctant to upgrade.

And if SA is not upgraded, the user base will shrink and it may lead to
the death of SA.

Best regards,

Olivier
