I think this would be a good idea. However, there is only one way I
think it might acutally work in practice:
(1) The core team, in private, decide on a new name. This can be done
through any means - I believe personal combat is the most viable
one, but e-mail might be easier to arrange.
(2) Core contacts the other interested parties (developers, external
contributors, mailing lists, kids with FreeBSD sweatshirts,
whatever), and gets an opinion on whether to actually change the
name. This might be done with or without saying what the name
would be changed to (personally, I think not saying would probably
work better), but it is important that it is done AFTER the
potential new name has been agreed on, as choosing a name after it
has been decided to switch would be impossible.
