Yes, it will benefit both camps and prevalence in general, which I believe is on the rise! 
Hopefully we will get it all straightened out in time for the bachelors thesis.

What name are you referring to? We didn't invent a new name, we are just being more general by using the term database engine based on the inheritance chain #livedb is-a prevalence engine is-an in-memory database engine is-a database engine. The #liveDB main page doesn't explicitly say Prevalence Engine or System Prevalence because I don't believe that will provide any descriptive value whatsoever to the intended visitors, simply because they've most probably never heard of it before. Hopefully this will change in the near future!

On another note, LMAX is also a prevalence engine, although a highly optimized one. I had a twitter conversation with one of their devs and pointed them to the system prevalence wikipedia page and recieved the reply, "That's exactly what we do".
