Re: [eclipse-dev] Rename download.eclipse.org/eclipse to download.eclipse.org/platform?

> is in the interest of the projects and user community?

I don't see a relationship between the question with the download URL.
The first time I hear a user say "I'm really confused, I downloaded
the Eclipse IDE from an URL with contained "eclipse" I might
reconsider. :-)

The above is of course just joke my friend, so don't try to reason about it.

If the project members and users want to change the download URL, I
don't mind. I just wanted to say, that as a user of the Eclipse IDE, I
don't find the current URL confusing.

If you get enough traction for changing it, I personally won't mind.

Best regards, Lars
