Or "new". maintain discipline and rigorously avoid using new in an name. There is very little that is more soul crushing than having to explain how new-server is a legacy installation and will be replaced by new-new-server any day now. Names have a strange duality, they are simultaneously the least and most important part of any system. least in that the name does not actually provide any load bearing strength, most, in that not only is it how you talk and share ideas about the thing, once it is in place it is the most difficult part to change. I used to think programmers were bad at naming things. then I started reading math proofs. mathematicians are absolutely terrible at it. the worst are programs derived directly from math proofs.
