Correct. But being able to use the term "Jabber" as a dev affects the normal
people who will use the app.

/K Come on, this is a small community in which all
developers active enough to be creating a named project know how to raise issues on email
lists, in chatrooms, or via GitHub. If they send an email to a lesser-known alias, they
know where to complain, which is just what you've done.
If you want to tell a normal person to install an XMPP app it is a show stopper to say
"XMPP". THis does not have to do anything with the size of our XMPP community.
