I can appreciate that there's probably an emotional attachment to > the name, but it makes no sense in terms of branding. You're probably right there - but I also don't think icecast is really a core part of the "Xiph mission". The 'core' part of Xiph projects is to provide free and open multimedia codecs, in my opinion. We also do lots of application-level software - ranging from vorbis-tools, to icecast, to cdparanoia. This stuff helps us to get exposure for the core codecs, but is not really an end in itself. (Opinions above are mine, not neccesarily Xiph's - but when I work on things like vorbis and icecast, that's what I think).
