Some people offered Pedro non invasive feedback about the name he
chooses for his library and he jumps down everyones throat making
accusations of personal attacks and religious zealotry.
Then he comes back with another app that is appropriately named based on
the toolkit.
I found it funny and it would appear that Paul does too. Maybe the
problem here is a contextual humour issue in conjunction with esl
translation/perception?

Criticizing Paul in person was not my intention. My comment was about
many of those who sumbit mails that others would find offensive. I
personally could be blamed for sending such mails too.

Paul gets cranky sometimes; it's part of his charm, along with his dry and sometimes
caustic British humour and sarcasm.
I love Linux project names, in general, because they're goofy, weird, funny, and often
make no sense whatsoever.
I mean, after all, this whole endeavour is descended from a guy who named his project
"GNU".

In this case it would be even better "Quillotine", because the library was Qt

Anyway, thanks to everybody for the naming brainstorm. Finally a decision was
made.
The library formerly known as "aseqmm" [1] has changed its name. The new name
is "drumstick" (drumroll was already taken).
The new name seems appropriate for a tool to play music, because it (the name)
was cooked with flames and it is a word that still has some ambiguity. Also,
in colloquial Spanish "montar un pollo" means "to kick up a fuss".
A PD icon has been adopted as a logo image:

Well, simply make it "Kuillotine".
