    From what I’ve seen, a lot of the motivation to not have peoples’ names attached to things is because people have things attached to them (such as racism). Not saying that’s every case, but I’m sure that’s a significant factor behind the general push.

      I fucking bet its really a chance for egotistical people to be able to put a names on things without having to discover new things.

        Um. The names aren’t being replaced with other personal names, and even if they were, it’s certainly not with the names of the people doing the replacement.
