Based on feedback I received (both in this thread and in private 
channels), it's clear that it's not what community wants. I think there 
was a lot of confusion, mostly based on false assumption that name 
change implies other changes. Anyway, keeping mingw-64 name is the 
easiest thing to do and that's fine with me.


If anyone wants to follow up on the name, feel free. I think one idea I 
received that seems worth mentioning in public is maxgw.


I will follow up in other replies on other threads.


Thanks,

Jacek
