Choosing a name like "Kerberos" for a new project will make it very difficult to search for anything related to it. Kerberos is an old concept in many operating systems with 8.4 million google search results(and none of them are related to this video product). Pick a new name IMO.

It's interesting that the cached summary of the `Kerberos` article on Yahoo search has the text of the disambiguated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_(protocol), but it's now a disambiguation page that still doesn't include this Kerberos.

The biggest problem with this name clash for the creators is that help and documentation will be hard to find, which will stymie adoption.

They also lose potential good will with the rest of the tech community.
