There are cognitive and referential benefit to having a unique single
abbreviation.

Err... sorry.  Friends don't let friends write email when in the
middle of reading social psychology books.

It's an obfuscated way of saying, having it be abbreviated "mt" some
places and "mtn" other places is annoying and confusing.  (And this is
a part of the discussion of choosing an abbreviated name for the
executable itself, most likely "mtn", see list archives for
reasoning.)
