Sure, you can hold on to the old names... na2017.

Yes, I see here a problem that is a result of the early americans taking famous city names when founding the new land.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">But again, you can name it however you want... as long as we no longer call it YAPC.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">And I do not think that any of this will have had any impact on the work Sébastien is doing for us as organisers, but you may want to ask him yourself.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Greetings</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Theo</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 6 Dec 2016, at 19:05, Todd Rinaldo <<a href="mailto:toddr@cpanel.net">toddr@cpanel.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Dec 1, 2016, at 8:33 AM, Theo van Hoesel <<a href="mailto:th.j.v.hoesel@gmail.com" class="">th.j.v.hoesel@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi Todd,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">in line off the preferred name changes, moving away from the old YAPC name and all moving to "The Perl Conference", I've discussed with Sébastien that we will also use different naming for repositories and the way they are being named on Spectre</div></div></div></blockquote><div>I don't see any particular reason the repo naming needs to be dictated.
