Seems like Richard is saying "we want Mark to set up a poll" ;-)

So, set up a poll, or, even better, choose whatever name you fancy and
use that. Mark, this is your project... you made it, so you get the
prerogative to decide whatever you want to call it. You can call it
foobar or you can call it the "Hope Diamond Framework." In the end,
all that matters is that you don't step on anyone else's intellectual
property, and that the framework is good, easy, powerful, fast, and is
adopted.

No matter what you choose, someone will disagree and someone else will
agree. So, go ahead and choose "Mantle." :-) Just kidding... set up a
poll, or choose unilaterally... either way it is your call. Don't ask
the peanut gallery as we will always have peanuts.
