I don't think OE is a good name for it, especially after the
bitbake/openembedded naming confusion.
Something professional sounding would be best. I tend to dislike names
with "ux" and "ix". It's sad that the name "Bonsai Linux" is already taken.
The new name thing only applies *if* we want to merge and *if*
"Familiar" doesn't pass the vote.
