hmmm, that's between being generic, and consumable by others.
question is how problematic it is if we keep our name...
would be nice if we can advertise ourselves a bit.
maybe we can compromise on:
ogi - ovirt generic installer

so name isn't directly with ovirt, but some marketing of ovirt from it 
may happen.

so +1 to OGI from me.

+1

hmmm, spinning #1:
OTOPI.
has a nice ring to it around utopia as well.

-1 due to PDF so widely known as something else

+1 to this one. not sure if critical to rename the rpm though.
