alias D somethingawholelotbetter;

Seriously whatever cons there are to a name change cannot 
possibly outweigh the power of the Internet. If you cannot find 
it on the Internet, then it simply does not exist.

As an added benefit, all those old D1 websites that have been 
dead for a few years will at least stop showing up during search 
results.

If there's no official name change, we should define an 
unofficial name among ourselves by holding a contest and vote on 
a winner, then we start using the new name everywhere. Problem 
solved.
