I've had some conversations with people about the label of ALT.NET. They are of the opinion that it causes controversy by setting up the "elitist" vs. "everyone else" mentality. This is not a new observations (see here and here, e.g.).

I'd like to propose that the divisiveness of the ALT.NET moniker be abolished as quickly as possible. To that end, my proposal for the name is Pragmatic.NET. It's both a state of mind and an homage to the Pragmatic Programmer series that touches on several of the topics important to this group.
