Comment (by zooko):
It might help reduce confusion about whether there is a commercial,
proprietary interest in Tahoe-LAFS. This is something that a few
contributors expressed concern about recently, e.g. #1938. Of course
removing the legacy name is not sufficient to explain that stuff -- we
still need explicit documentation of the governance and licensing facts --
but it might help.
Also, I don't know about you, but I regard legacy names as "cruft" or
"dirt" that adds a tiny bit of cognitive load to the new reader.
