For reasons far beyond human imagination this is all but a valid argument, because the choice was made before the 1st public version of kernel was actually published, while GIMP is around for over a decade already. The question you really have to ask is: will actual GIMP developers agree to work on rebranded GIMP? Because, you see, there are just 3,7 of them. And only Martin (correct me if I'm wrong) once said he wouldn't mind having GIMP rebranded. Living in a country of 100+ millions of potential users I have no problem advocating GIMP name-wise. But I do have a problem advocating it feature-wise and the last thing I would ever want to see is development stopped because some nois^H vocal people go further than 4th meaning of a word in a dictionary while having a problem understanding what an acronym is. Education does cruel things to people's minds.
