Do we have to do this? We've already done a re-branding recently with 
Titanium - why go through it again, unless there is a candidate which is 
clearly better, which so far I'm unconvinced. What is the wider 
community to make of it - "the Perl framework that keeps changing its 
name"? Agreed the new site design looks good, but trying and find a new 
brand name just to match the design seems inappropriate.

Mantle:
# "A loose sleeveless coat worn over outer garments; a cloak".
# "Something that covers, envelops, or conceals".
# "The mantle (also known by the Latin word pallium, adjective pallial) 
is a significant part of the anatomy of molluscs".

I vote we stick with Titanium.
