New StupidName, perhaps, but meatspace namespace is flat
How many projects out there are already called "Mercury"? Sourceforge has at least a dozen. How many are called "Croquet"? Sourceforge, for example, has only one. Not to mention any Google for "Mercury" + any IT term is going to turn up 1,000 pages from SJ Merc first.

I'd be more interested in a unique name like they chose than one with White American Male cachet.

No offense. :P
Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance -
Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

New Mercury = Messenger
I just get tired of meaningless titles - I get enough of that on [link|http://arxiv.org|http://arxiv.org].

Croquet? Stupid name! Not quite as stupid as GRUB, admittedly.
