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.
