Side note: I hope "Boot to Gecko" won't be the official name of the OS. First, most users don't know what booting is or what Gecko is. Second, it will be awkward to use an imperative phrase as a noun. "This phone has Boot to Gecko." "Did you see that game for Boot to Gecko?" Very awkward. GeckoOS might be OK; something inspired by the word "gecko" would be better still. A quick look at the Wikipedia article suggests "Gekkota", "Adhesion", etc.



The UI layer is already called Gaia, I would assume that's what they'll refer to the product when speaking to end-users.


The UI layer is explicitly replaceable, though.


True, I'm not sure it's important to make the distinction to end-users though.
