I say: Wait and see.

Naming problems are not logical and should only be addressed when they pose a real problem.

For instance Pennsylvania Dutch is a misnomer. It's not Dutch it's a High German° dialect.

Or is "Dutch" a misnomer? Since it's just the English prononciation of Deutsch.

Or is "German" a misnomer and should be called Dutch in English?

Or should Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux countries sue Germany for using the name "Deutschland" exclusively?

Too theoretical?

What about Canadians being North Americans but not Americans...

What about Brittany not being part of Great Britain?

FWIW: they should have named it "Perl++" ( and that right from the beginning) and I bet that's what's going to happen in the end.
