Personal opinion. VoxeLibre should be the name of MineTest, because MineTest seems like it was a temporary name for experimental 'learn a programming language' project. And MineClone is exaclly what this is so maybe not best for advertisement but it fits.
oh I rhpught that was the case! yea definetly it would make way more sense for minetest to become voxel libre
VoxeLibre has intended to not be Minecraft clone for a long time now. There has been burgers in the base game for 17 months now. Unfortunately, every time someone tries to do something different, they get a hostile reception. The name is a liability, and not representative of what the project plans to be. The name change is about where the game plans to be, not where it was in the past. MineClone2 is a dreadful name. It's like calling it rubbish MC rip-off 2.
Im fine with the name change here, but also agree that MineTest is a bit of a lame name for what is pretty much a game engine.
