Here we go again. This kind of meaningless change pisses me off.

For example US Congress came in and did some stuff and a telescope I work on had to change its name from Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) which was used for at least a decade to Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). While it was done for a good cause ( the actual telescope was named after a famous woman physicist) , I doubt if common people will ever care enough. LSST is unlikely to generate as much hype as JWST. On the other hand it pissed off a lot of astronomers who really care about the project.
