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.
