Plus Lineage seems like a much better brand name than CyanogenMod for mass adoption.

Though I would've called it Cyborg or something more analogous to Android.

I always thought "TrueBlueOS" would have been a good name for the open source version...

That's exactly what coderobe said, that it will be rebranded and split off from the company. Just because it's called something else doesn't mean it's "dead".

Exactly. When someone changes their name, we don't hold a funeral.
