This is probably the strategy of those that claim they don't care about
patch names yet block the change on patch names.  Once internal
improvements are made the name changes proposal can effectively trashed.
 You've basically asked to resubmit the proposal without the name change
because everyone knows part 2 would be blocked on the basis it's not a
good enough reason by itself.

This is NetBSD territory where 1 voice can silence 100.  more than 1
person thinks it doesn't look ugly and it's useful too.  The words are
carefully chosen because "looks ugly" is half the reason of the patch
name change proposal, so if we crush "looks ugly" as an aesthetic
trivial opinion, we become hypocrits.  check.
