PLT Scheme being renamed to PLT Racket
Is this some sort of early April Fools joke?

I would have preferred PLT Parrot, but Racket will do.

If preventing confusion is one's goal, using a name which includes the name of an existing VM is not the best choice.

It was a joking reference to the Parrot announcement, which started as an April Fool's joke about a merger of Perl and Python but which led to the Parrot VM (the One VM to Rule Them All).
