@onlinepersona @recursive_recursion I don't think we need to spend time bikeshedding the name. As for the reasons I chose it:

- it is short
- similar to nix
- is short for "auxiliary" which can be used to mean "another", "additional", "secondary", "separate"; so it being a separate nix ecosystem lines up

Doesn’t have to be bikeshedding. It’s 2 steps:

  1. collect proposals
  2. vote on proposals

But it’s your baby, do what you like.

The SEO on this name is going to be a major irritation for adoption.

But that aside, doesn’t it strike you as a concerning that this project is born at least in part from the complaints about a “benevolent dictator”, and the very first time—at least that I’ve seen—someone asks you to put something up for community consensus you say no?
