Sorry guys but we are not about to switch back from normal names to random 
words. We were there before and the board wanted all of them changed.

With products with boring names like WSO2 WSAS, WSO2 WSF, WSO2 ESB, WSO2 
MS we cannot suddenly call the newest one WSO2 Moxie or WSO2 Foxy.

I like R3 .. RESTful Registry & Repository to but I'm also keen that we 
maintain consistency.

So maybe it'll have to be WSO2 Registry after all ...
