If you think Conduit is bad, you should see the list of names we _didn't_ use! ;)

There is also a haskell streaming library called conduit: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/conduit

Why? Conduit seems as good a name as any for a project like this, if you ask me. Am I missing something here?

"Conduit" is often refered to "Conduit toolbar" [1], which was known as a malware.

It’s been a long,’long time since I’ve seen it that I completely forgot, hah! Guess it’s not as bad as a name still then.

I came here to say exactly this. A Google of "Conduit" gets every competing dictionary's take on the word. A search on "conduit software" gets you nothing but frustrated posts of people trying to remove conduit malware.
