netconf and RFC 4741

Dear list,

when looking for a project name, I chose netconf because that
yielded only one other reference: the NETCONF configuration
protocol. I didn't see much conflict, and thought I'd be choosing
a working name anyway.

I just ended up glancing at RFC 4741 again
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4741) and am a little more uncertain.

Do you think there's a potential name clash going on? My netconf
won't implement NETCONF, but the two are seperate anyway, netconf is
about a single Linux system, NETCONF is about a network
infrastructure (think SNMP).

What do you think? Should we start looking for alternative names?
