I think FreeMiNT has been the designated name of the kernal since Atari left
the scene.   Being that all new TOS machines have no affiliation with Atari,
why should the OS still be linked with them, other than the fact that it runs
on TOS machines historically introduced by Atari.  If we are talking about the
complete operating system, then it should be called MiNT-OS  (since this
implies a Unix-like setup).
