[Proj] New OSGeo website should rename Proj4 to Proj

I'd say so, yes. Please don't change the name until after the v. 5.0.0 release is out. At that time we will have a definitive answer regarding naming of the project and its products.

Isn't it a premature call?

https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/issues/735

"By keeping PROJ.4 as the name of the project, rather than the
product, we avoid a lot of unneeded trouble with web presence etc."

"Keeping PROJ.4 as an identifier for the project is also a tribute in
the memory of project founder Gerald I. Evenden."

"find_package (PROJ4 5.0)"

and there has been agreement on that so far.
