I believe Marco has suggested the solution himself: change the name to
BrancoBox to distinguish his variant clearly from the OMS mainline.

As far as age is concerned, clearly anybody 50 years or older is into
their 2nd childhood, and hardly worthy of serious consideration.
However, I reserve the right to change my opinion about this, since it
is my 50th birthday tomorrow.
