Well, "make search key="movabletype"" finds the port, and it has been  
named "MT" since 5 years. I maintain it since 4 years, and this is  
the first time someone complained. MT is the short name used all over  
the website (like "MT Day", "MT Beta", "MT professionals", "MT  
community", "Styles for MT ported from WordPress" etc.). So

So i am not yet convinced we gain much by renaming it.
