That was discussed. However, people preferred VPN-A and VPN-B. If you 
feel strongly about this, feel free to create a new document with 
those names.

Fully agree. But it is not expected that the new algorithms will be 
installed in all devices, only in those who care about using these 
algorithms. Thus, it seems sensible to let those people choose its 
names.

All the more reason to make these new names as explicit as possible.

Before we get upset about the new names, please understand that there 
has been almost no uptake on the current VPN-A and VPN-B names 
(including from either Yoav's or Tero's companies, I believe). The 
idea of UI suites is still sound, but it is not like we can say how 
any changes will affect users, given that virtually no users have 
seen the current suites in use.
