Certainly possible-- Ive got no inside information.
My questions would be:
Why no announcement until after the fact, when its already a done-deal?
Why no explanation about the new name- or what the logic was behind it?
Why no community involvement in either the name change or new design?
what does the name change accomplish? Why go through the trouble if its 'business as usual'?
