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.

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 :)

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 :)

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.

Isn't the guest agent already called ovirt-agent?

Well I would like to not call it "ovirt-agent" because there already
is the "ovirt-guest_agent", so they could get confused by new users.
I really don't know if a new name is necessary at all.
What do you think are advantages?
Disadvantages are:
1. waste of time for searching a new name (already happens in this
discussion).
2. breakage if you search for the old/new name : you might
end up with just half the relevant results because you used the
old/new name.
