"We've decided to call our REST framework - wait for it - Rest."
How is that not a really important decision that should be considered practically? If I want to query Google for REST vs. Rest, or even converse with people about it, you don't think that will quickly become (needlessly) confusing assuming the framework becomes popular? And if you aren't expecting the framework to become popular, does that make it OK to choose such a lazy name?
But, hey, at least you got to namedrop the term "bikeshedding" along with your highly specious argument.
