Comment:
While I see the benefit of doing the renaming before putting out 2.0.0, I
don't think we're ready to pick a new name at this point. When we rename
metrics-lib, we should considering doing the same with the other metrics-
related tools. What we should avoid is rename metrics-lib now and then
once again six or twelve months later. But on the other hand the plan to
rename metrics-lib shouldn't block the 2.0.0 release, so I'm removing that
milestone.
My suggestion is that we keep the two names metrics-lib and DescripTor for
the moment and use either both or just metrics-lib name whenever we have
the choice. We should not, however, change explicit mentions of
DescripTor to metrics-lib. For example, we're using the name DescripTor
for releases and for .jar files, and we should keep doing that. But when
we announce 2.0.0 in a blog post of some sort we could prefer the name
metrics-lib and only mention very briefly that it's also known under the
name DescripTor, so that people downloading the release won't be too
confused.
Oh well, sometimes writing code is easier than writing about code.
