It really is a bad name. The whole reason they are using it is that they wanted to come up with a user friendly way to say "MCF". And because of this it had to start with an "M". There honestly weren't any good suggestions.

But, since they are branching to a different project, they need to come up with a user friendly name, and then create a a three letter acronym for it. If anyone has any ideas for a good name, please suggest them. Also, look to see if an appropriate file extension is available here.
