Description

What is the problem you're trying to solve
Now that moby/containerd has no explicit fork relationship with containerd/containerd as an upsteam/downsteam repo,
users can be easily confuse moby/containerd with the official, very active containerd/containerd

Describe the solution you'd like
Pick a new name.
First steps would be to :

  1. Announce it at the very TOP of the README.md that this project is an independent project.
  2. Choose a new name, but only update the README,md
  3. Rename the github repo to new name.
  4. Optional: Go all the way and change the namespace of the codebase.

Additional context
Just steps 1 & 2 are sufficient for full disclosure.
Step 3 should also be relatively painless and transparent to the 7 users who have forked this project.
I assume Step 4 would be costly/painful and really isn't needed unless this project grows further.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with README.md and review the issue's proposed disclosure steps. A complete result would clearly identify the project as independent and settle a new project name before any repository or namespace changes; the issue does not specify that name or a decided scope.
