if Dani was joking about the "Q" name, but it is not an inherently
bad idea.)

What I proposed
with the "Q" name was a brand/name for the release (as we did
with previous releases) and not for the Eclipse TPL project. I would never
agree to use such a random name for the Eclipse TPL, but of course I have
no objection to find a new suitable name for it. So far we failed with
that as we currently fail to name the upcoming releases.

help us break up the issue. It seems we are stuck in this cycle:  we
can't change the name - it's too complex - look at all the artifacts and

change them - so back to the name - but all the things.... tbc
Could we take a step back for a moment?
In addition to straightening out the
name for the simultaneous release, we also need to come up with a new name
for the Eclipse top-level project so that it conforms to the usual trademark
guidelines that apply to all Eclipse projects. Is there perhaps at least
a small chance that naming the simrel would become easier if we had a name
for the project upon which most of the simrel is based? If the Eclipse
Project decides to rename itself the Eclipse Quark project, then wouldn't
have an influence on the discussion here? (I am not sure if Dani was joking

I sort of have a hunch that maybe we've
put the cart before the horse. Note that I am not saying that the
name of the top-level project would automatically become the brand we use
for the desktop IDE or the simrel. All I'm saying is that having the name
of the TLP might provide the anchor that Gunnar was looking for.
FWIW, this quote from Nick Boldt really
resonated with me: "Call it what you will, it's still the quarterly
desktop IDE release train."

Which is why calling the simrel "Eclipse
Desktop Platform 09-2018" or "Eclipse Quark(*) 09-2018"
or even "Eclipse Code(*) 09-2018" would all be fine IMO. Anything
that makes it sound like it encompasses everything at the Eclipse Foundation
(e.g. "Eclipse 09-2018") is not okay.
