Semantically, we're putting the cart before the horse.  Acronyms are used
to describe something that has a name that would be inconvenient to
describe in full.  The name comes first.   Creating an acronym before we
have a name in use isn't going to work out, because it's not necessarily
helping anyone communicate.

The goal here is to get a good name, and everyone's thinking in acronyms
just because those are already common.  So: ignore the acronym.  We talk
about DragonFly, after all, not DragonFlyBSD.

If Hammer is a good name (which I agree on), let's use it.
