I want to address some comments that were left on the celo forum. But doing it here to keep discussions around Mento Governance Proposals in one place.
First of all, fair callout, changing names is a lot of work, especially at the community level. Also, picking the right name is hard. As some of you pointed out in the comments on the Celo forum, we discussed the naming beforehand and made a judgment call at the time. But Minteo reached out to us, and we agreed to find a different naming scheme for these assets.
We’re happy to work with the community to pick better symbols, but unfortunately, keeping COPm is not an option. Minteo has been gracious about all of this, but in the end, they had the names first.
