OT, but:

I don’t remember seeing Ansible Community Distribution / ACD anywhere. But I think it makes as much sense as Ansible Community Package. Maybe _distribution_ is even better than _package_.

Before we vote, I think we should discuss this. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a discussion about this: [How to name things in Ansible-land? Ansible Core, AAP, the Ansible Community Package and the rest of the ecosystem](https://forum.ansible.com/t/6202). I’m not 100% sure if this is the one I’ve had in mind, but it would fit.

Maybe we could move the discussion about Ansible / ACP / ACD / whatever to there. Or create a new thread mentioning this one.
