The assertion that Ethan works for Nagios Enterprises as a reason to completely turn away from the community makes very little sense. What your company did is entirely not okay in a moral sense from my perspective. So no, the fact that you control the project's name upstream is not a good reason to keep the package name the same. I'm trying to figure out a solution that makes sense for everyone and you're making that difficult; did you and your company honestly expect people to just keep going along with you after a dramatic and hostile fork?

Sorry to be so brash, but you've got to work with me here.
