> Definitely not.
Definitely yes. Again, speaking from experience. Yours may be different, but don’t discount mine.
> I'd just tell the raven os and let them google it.
You missed the point entirely. With each step they have to do, you lose someone. The point is to reduce friction so there is a better chance the other person follows the recommendation. You don’t seem to care if the other person ends up searching for or finding the right thing, in which case you’re irrelevant to the point. The conversation is about people trying to maximise success of a recommendation being acted upon.
> Google would find it anyway.
You seem to be unaware, but Google shows different results to different people. All it shows me for several results is a movie called “ravenous”. To other people it shown multiple unrelated projects. At this point you’ve already lost several people.

> Which I know you didn't even try
Yes, I did. And I didn’t get what I was looking for. I was expecting to get at least the web browser but even that did not show up. Please don’t assume you know what other people do or do not do.
> because the bigger issue is that the name is already taken
No, that is not an issue at all. No one made them choose “raven”, a name already in use by multiple projects. The solution to “this name already exists” isn’t “let’s replace a letter”.
> before writing this italics laden diatribe
You appear to be irrationally angry about this matter. It’s just an internet conversation about naming, it’s not worth raising your blood pressure for. I wish you a calm weekend.
great movie about cannibals (not really horror, more like drama) https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10212-ravenous
