Not that I love SilkOs specially, but at least tries to
have some clear "keyword".  Most od the proposal I heard,
would be rejected by any commercial study ...

So far it looks to me that only Kelly is trying
to find a "brand" name, and somebody else to find
some "motto" the Right Thing (tm) ...

Anyway, as usually happens, a code name is good for
now, so that we know what we are talking about
(and LispOs is as good as SilkOs), then there will
be plenty of time to come up with something a little
bit more appealing (also try to think a name in
conjunction with a possible logo).
