[ltt-dev] LTTng-UST -> UST

[nils.carlson@ericsson.com (Nils Carlson)]

Maybe the problem is in my head... :-) I'm actually just talking about the 
title on the webpage, code and manuals already just say UST mostly.

My problem is that managers are going to the UST website and noting 
LTTng-UST. Then they shorten it to LTTng (as they don't know better) which 
confuses everyone who knows about LTTng (the patches on the kernel). Then, 
once it's been explained to them about the kernel, and userspace, and how 
they're different and separate and so on they start coming up with new 
things. Yesterday I managed to stop one of them writing down LTTng-KST 
(kernelspace tracer). :-/

So, sorry for all the commotion.

But maybe in the long-term we don't want to be called LTTng-UST? It's a 
bit of a mouthfull and UST is short and sweet and doesn't share even part 
of the name with another project. It's also better from a marketing 
perspective. Just changing the title on the webpage and changing the 
README would pretty much do it.
