We already tried to come up with some names.  I can't find the thread
but things like GELPA and such were proposed.

Regarding REL, it's not a bad name, but sounds a bit like RHEL, the
RedHat Enterprise Linux distribution.  So it could be confusing.

I'm out of ideas at this point...  I feel like I'm just nay-saying all
the suggestions, so please don't consider my opinion too carefully :)

Whatever the name, I'll try to use it consistently.

Thanks
