Rename ADB to PADB (prounounced pad-b)

[bexelbie]

This issue and the email that is being sent to container tools about it is the result of four talks and lots of hallway conversations I have had about the ADB. Many audience members seem to "short circuit" because the name is already in use by the Android Debug Bridge and the Asian Development Bank[0]. This short-circuit prevents meaningful conversations and instead turns deep rabbit holes about names being hard.

I was discussing this with @veillard and he suggested we just tack on a 'P' to the front for "Project Atomic." We riffed on this a bit and seemed to like it.

The formal proposal is to rename this sub-project to "Project Atomic Developer Bundle" to be pronounced as two words, "pad bee" (pad-b).

This change seems minimally invasive and would allow us to move conversations past the existing name colliding projects.

[0] In full disclosure, no one, other than google.com, has suggested the bank.

So how is this improving on anything, in fact PADB seems even worse to me. And is the aim not to break the association to (Project) Atomic?

[bexelbie]

The aim is to stop the use of "ADB" because it details conversations and to also not break the association with Atomic.

So how is ADB really related to Atomic?

Alternately, you could call it "CDK Origin" ;-)

Actually, this is not the worst I have heard. Beats PADB by miles.

I really need to not make jokes about naming things.
