Why is it called vdsm and not something a little more descriptive and project-related, like "ovirt-agent"? Well, we could think of a rename for oVirt 4.0 :)
Not 100% joking: besides being a bit more google-friendlier, that could solve the packaging troubles and make old-vdsm and new-vdsm-or-whaterver-we-may-call-it trivially parallel installable on a given host.
Well, that was going to be my next question -- can we rename it? I like "ovirt-agent", but almost anything other than vdsm will be nicer :)

for the little story, when I began to use ovirt in 2012, a french google search gave me on the first page a full list of "BDSM" result, which relies to Bonding for the B letter, but in reality for masochism :) that was very funny but not very serious :)
Indeed. In addition to not being descriptive or helpful, "vdsm" rhymes / sounds like (especially if said quickly) something we shouldn't talk about in a professional setting. This may only be true for native English speakers, and I believe "vdsm" originated in Israel. It's not a label that would have originated in the US due to it not being "work-friendly." That awkwardness aside, ... "ovirt-agent" will be better for marketing, Google searches, etc. Greg
