What do you mean by trademark name?  Akonadi and Nepomuk?  That's exactly t=
he=20
jargon that the original post targeted for elimination.  I agree completely=
=20
that we need something in there to make it easy to distinguish between case=
s,=20
but I think the best way to do this is to make our error messages detailed =
and=20
accurate. =20

Thanks for pointing out that this affects bug reports, too.  If we replaced=
 all=20
of our error messages with the two words "something broke" we would have=20
messages that any user can understand, but we wouldn't be able to identify =
the=20
bug without a backtrace or other debugging information.  That makes it much=
=20
harder for the general pubic to submit useful bug reports.  =20
