It seems I was wrong; we have not only been wrestling fog, we have been wrestling semantics.
There has been enough work done to ascertain that the music will always be there to be accessed. If it is to cease to be performed, so be it, changing the name will not make one iota of difference.
The Titanic would still have sunk, even if the name had been changed to 'The Good Ship Lollipop'
More later- when I have woken up.
