[News.eclipse.test-and-performance] Re: Needs a new name

[mgn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Mike Norman)]

Having thought up the name, I'm attached to Hyades, but as Tyler said
there was a lot of discussion on this. Hyades is what it is and what it
can become through extensiion and evolution, and will continue to be used
to describe that. I think we need also to be aware that the scope of the
T&P PMC may (possibly) include things which don't directly leverage the
Hyades infrastructure, although that is not the case at the moment.
