Are there any other analog examples where a protocol has attempted this kind of re-naming? Did it work? Or fail? The Ethereum community is so wide ranging, from devs all the way up to people who bought NFTs.
The title of the post is literally "The great renaming: what happened to Eth2?"
I get what's happening, my question was about the success of the renaming process.
I think some people will still use the phrase ETH2 until the Merge this summer, since it's been around for a while. But then I suspect it will fade away after the Merge. And the next big upgrade after that is Sharding, which is easy enough to say and describe by itself.
