Speculating on LAMP renames if Oracle dumps MySQL

Excerpt from the ##php channel on FreeNode IRC:

<Maghnus> With Oracle buying MySQL, is LAMP going to become LAPP?
<AzMoo> Maghnus: Oracle have said they will still support and maintain MySQL as open-source. Whether or not we believe them is another question.
<deadowl> maybe LAGNUP?
<AzMoo> haha, I like that one.
<Maghnus> I’m not sure why, but I’m skeptical…
<Maghnus> how about FreeBSD, FAPP :)
<deadowl> lol
<KX> I’ve got a new idea, PHP should be a recursive abbreviation instead of a recursive acronym. Yeah? Yeah?!
<KX> but it should also be a recursive acronym inside a recursive abbreviation
<KX> P: PH: PHP: PHP:: PHP: H: PHP Hy …
<KX> Who do I speak to, to get this accepted?
