I'm generally reluctant in using the term "OpenSim" for anything other 
than the name of this project. It's bad enough that bloggers and the 
public keep confusing the project with its uses, let's not give any more 
suggestions in that direction. OpenSim is the infrastructure project, 
not its uses. The users of OpenSim are the world operators, not the 
people who login to these worlds.

In other words, when people login to an OpenSim-based world they are not 
"logging in to OpenSim"; they are logging in to a world that someone 
runs based on OpenSim. This may seem like an insignificant distinction, 
but it's not, it's huge.

So let's leave it with the generic message that is has now. The config 
var is there for people to customize it.
