Well, the particular suggestion you chose to reply to on the name
issue wasn't sensible, but I strongly disagree that the thread isn't
going anywhere. Lots of leading Ubuntu contributors have voiced their
opinion that the name of this application does not correctly describe
its function and have given good explanations why. Ubuntu is a project
based on discussion and consensus. Simply drawing a line under the
thread is not the right approach, IMO.
