I think liblmdb for the name of the library file is fine. Do we need to
change any other instances of "mdb" as well, or can we just let them
slide?
Need, no, but my vote is for changing it throughout. Failing that,
changing the user-visible stuff. File extensions, program names,
documentation.
For consistency, and taking the opportunity to escape the Goolge(mdb)
hits for Microsoft's MDB. "back-mdb" doesn't hit those, but "database
mdb" and the .mdb file extension do.
Also, what is it going to be called now? It now seems to be the
Lightning mdb -- as opposed to the Microsoft mdb? Yet an mdb isn't some
well-established term, even if we've talked about it a lot lately. So
I'm not exactly sure what the stand-alone name "mdb" is needed for at
this point. Unless that can be fixed by just phrasing things a bit
differenlty than I just did.
