Here was my reasoning for the naming choice:
- I need something meaningful
- I need something that encompass the idea and features of a bug
tracker because the narrower ideas and actions will be in sub commands
- other projects already used other words, in particular "issue"
- it kind of sounds and looks good
You say that it's a namespace grab and I understand that, but in the
other hand, there is not that much freedom when choosing a name. Sorry
if I'm stepping on someone's toe :-|
