I like this. We will collect all the suggestions we get and present them...perhaps as a poll? That should be revealing. Thanks for your suggestion.
This was a really insightful post. I think in a situation like yours where your not experiencing the problems Rob and others have expressed, then at least from a business perspective, this conversation wont have much value.
One thing we are finding out however that the re-branding may have other positive side effects that are not necessarily sales related. We heard today from people that would like to see a more inclusive term used to express the diversity that exists in their companies and the teams that produce their software. They told us that a new term that reflects the diversity of those teams would have an overall positive effect on their businesses.
That was unexpected for us but I totally get it.
