Description
Alexander Gallego claimed on Twitter that every usage of Benthos must now be renamed to Redpanda Connect.
I understand why that's in the best interest of Redpanda (free marketing).
That's also a move that erodes trust both in Benthos and Open Source in general.
Seeing that Benthos still exists as a library (and technically there is still a benthos cmd package) it would be nice to clarify whether that's actually true, because I imagine it would put a pretty heavy burden on every benthos user out there to eliminate all appearances of "benthos".
Plus benthos is actually a name (brand) known to people out there. Why destroy it?
