That makes sense for various sub-projects, but I'm talking about the
umbrella name for the overall effort. Just like OpenStep references got
dated when Apple started calling it Cocoa, so too would a Cocoa-derived
name if Apple decided to change that. It may not be likely, but I don't
see much point in abandoning the GNUstep name if it is even a
possibility. So my compromise was to just turn the "step" into a verb.

I'm sure the search engines could figure it out, just like they already
do for GNUstep.
