I doubt that would really go forward. I find olv just as hard to type on
either keyboard. On qwerty you type 'ol' with the same finger and in
order, so you kind of 'stutter'. On dvorak olv 'l' is on the top row,
typed by the pinky, and 'v' is on the bottom row, typed by the ring
finger. So you really have to stretch.

Plus, I do agree that a name change at this point would not be wise.
