So, up to this point, Langdon White and his merry band of Modularity folks have been calling the proposed modular Fedora Server by the name of "Crazy Server", which I am not fond of. This is for a number of reasons, but mostly because I can't imagine anyone willingly installing and trying something its creators are calling "crazy".
So, I think we need a better name for this effort. My personal suggestion would be to call it "Adaptive Server". Other suggestions welcome.
So Modular is obviously an implementation detail in order to achieve a specific solution, but what is the problem the modular initiative is trying to solve? Some name that refers to that could work I think.
Right, so the modular approach is an attempt to deal with the "Too Fast/Too Slow" problem in Fedora. (Essentially, that everyone wants the libraries on the system to be static and unchanging... except their pet library/framework that absolutely has to be the latest available version.)
That's why I suggested "Adaptive"... the design of Server lends itself to adapting to your needs without forcing you to go into uncharted build-it-yourself territory.
