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.
